In today's Gospel, through the parable of the two sons Jesus shows us who is really obeying the will of God.In the parable, the second son who said that he won't go to the field actually did go and thus obeyed his father's commandment.Similarly, the gentiles who were considered sinners because of all kinds of failures on their part accepted Jesus as their Savior while the Israelites who were waiting for the Savior refused to accept him.The people who are really following the will of God are the gentiles.
What is needed is not not just words and platitudes of belief but williness to follow Jesus really in life. This is what Jesus is telling us. It does not matter who we are and how sinful we are. What is important is our turning back on sin and deciding to become a follower of Jesus.
Today is given another fresh opportunity to make the decision to follow Jesus and avoid the paths of sins.
We shall ask the Lord to forgive our sins and to follow him in our life.
Lord, give me the grace to be a faithful follower of yours and to repent of my failures in the past.
