This parable of Jesus is unique to Matthew. You won’t find it in the other gospel writers. It sets out beautifully the comfort of repentance to those who have sinned and yet have seen their sin and turned from it and come to Christ. So, anyone can come to Jesus through repentance and faith. But it also has in it a very straightforward, powerful warning against hypocrites and the danger of their position. It is never enough to make promises to God, or to claim to believe, or to recite a creed. What counts is actual devotion: love of God, worship, and loving service to others.

Scripture Reading: Matthew 21:23-32
