Chapters 20 and 21 are filled with parables and reminders of what we ought to expect from Abba Yahuah before entering His Kingdom.
One of the most meaningful is the Parable of the Two Sons. It reminds us that even though the first son refused to do his father’s will when asked, he later thought better of it and went to do what was right. In doing so, he truly honored his father.
In the same way, the sinners and tax collectors may have refused at first to do Father’s will but later repented, changed their hearts, and chose to obey Him. This is a powerful reminder that Father is patient and merciful. As long as we come to Him with a repentant heart, He will forgive us—just as He did for them. Those who once turned away but return sincerely will enter the Kingdom before those who, like the second son, say they will do the Father’s will but never actually do it.
This message wasn’t just for the Pharisees and teachers of the law in Yahushua’s time—it’s for us today as well.
Yahushua also tells His disciples that He will be delivered to the teachers of the law and Pharisees, put to death, and after three days, be raised to life 🙌—offering Himself as a ransom for many.
For me personally, this is one of the most generous and loving things Yahushua has done for all of us. Many believe that confession alone is enough to enter the Kingdom, but my heart and spirit say otherwise. Accepting Yahushua is only part of the journey. The rest is walking in righteousness and doing the Father’s will—with a heart that truly aligns with Him.
This heart posture can only come through our actions and through our spiritual alignment. I’m learning this alignment as I go. I do my best to stay in step with Abba Yahuah and Yahushua 🙌, but like everyone, I fall short at times. Falling short doesn’t mean we’ve failed—it means we must keep turning back to Him with a repentant heart, keeping close relationship with Abba Yahuah and Yahushua.
Through that relationship, we’re reminded of Yahushua’s words and how He demonstrated the Father’s will through His actions.
Finally, Yahushua reminds us that to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, we must first be servants to one another—for He came not to be served, but to serve.
As always, friends, I encourage you to take the time to read or listen to these chapters and meditate on them. Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal how they can be applied to your own walk.
