This study explores the parable of the Two Sons from Matthew 21:28-32, emphasizing the Father's command to "go work today in my vineyard." It contrasts the responses and actions of the two sons, highlighting themes of relationship, obedience, and repentance. The first son initially refuses but eventually repents and obeys, while the second son agrees to go but fails to do so. This parable challenges us to examine our responses to God’s call and the importance of our actions over mere words in fulfilling His commandments.
