Synopsis

Matthew 3:1-12; 21:28-32. Ben Murphy. What does it mean to belong to the covenant people of God; to be a disciple of Jesus Christ? Certainly it means making a confession of sin and a promise to serve God and his people in the light of God’s grace shown in the cross. But now while our confession is important, Jesus challenges us to see that our words need to be backed up by a transformed life. In Matthew 21:28-32 Jesus tells a challenging parable about two sons and their contrasting responses to their father’s request; a parable which forces us to examine our hearts and our lives and to ask whether we following the path of authentic discipleship? Is our thankfulness to God brought to expression in a life lived for his glory, striving for obedience in everything?
