Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you
So often we think about what does it mean to be close to God? Who are we as Christians and believers? These are fundamental questions that concern our human being and sense of life.
Jesus Christ wants to establish a special relationship with us. The today's Gospel shows that relationship as a bond between a father and a son. The first, principal rule of love is to love without conditions. Love should be the fundamental issue in Christianity.
The parable tells about two sons who were asked for help by their father. The first one said: “I will do it” but he did not fulfil his father’s request. The second one said: “I will not do it” but finally He helped His father. The second son was rebellious, but eventually He helped His father. The real relationship is built on listening to God and fulfilling His will in the name of love.
The second rule is the obedience to God. A perfect example here is Jesus Christ who was obedient to fulfilled the will of His father.
Obedience to God saves us from self-conceit. Jesus Christ teaches how to fulfil Father’s will and develop our spiritual and daily life.
It may sound very strange, because it may be in contrary to our freedom and independence. But God does not want to enslave us but make us happier. Very often we need some suggestions to make our life better. God is the purest wisdom, He does not want to take away our freedom, but to enrich us by His holiness and power.
God, my Lord, may my relationship be built on listening to you. Amen.
Jezus powiedział do arcykapłanów i starszych ludu: "Co myślicie? Pewien człowiek miał dwóch synów. Zwrócił się do pierwszego i rzekł: „Dziecko, idź i pracuj dzisiaj w winnicy”. Ten odpowiedział: „Idę, panie!”, lecz nie poszedł. Zwrócił się do drugiego i to samo powiedział. Ten odparł: „Nie chcę”. Później jednak opamiętał się i poszedł. Który z tych dwóch spełnił wolę ojca?" Mówią Mu: "Ten drugi". Wtedy Jezus rzekł do nich: "Zaprawdę, powiadam wam: Celnicy i nierządnice wchodzą przed wami do królestwa niebieskiego. Przyszedł bowiem do was Jan drogą sprawiedliwości, a wy mu nie uwierzyliście. Uwierzyli mu zaś celnicy i nierządnice. Wy patrzyliście na to, ale nawet później nie opamiętaliście się, żeby mu uwierzyć".
