Parables of Rebellion and Obedience

Today's passage looks at two parables that lay the difference between rebellion and obedience. These parables declare the truth that entering into the Kingdom of God cannot be separated from a willingness to obey. And in fact, many who claim to belong to God, openly rebel against Him. Nevertheless, God will accept any who respond to Jesus with a willingness to have a change of heart and mind leading to a change of life.
