In Matthew 21:23-32 we hear Jesus' authority questioned by the chief priests and elders. In response to their questions, Jesus shares with them a parable about two sons asked to go work in a vineyard. Jesus' parable speaks to us today about how we are going to respond to his message: are we going to listen and actually do what God tells us, or are we simply going to ignore the message and go along our merry way following the ways of the world? There is a dire warning for all of us in Matthew 21:43 for those who choose to ignore the message of the Gospel and go our own way of the world: “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit."
