Headed for the Vineyard

“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘My son, go, work in the vineyard today.’ ²⁹ “He answered, ‘I don’t want to!’ Yet later he changed his mind and went. ³⁰ Then the man went to the other and said the same thing.
“‘I will, sir,’ he answered. But he didn’t go.
³¹ “Which of the two did his father’s will?”
“The first,” they said.
Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you!
-Matthew 21:28-31 (HCSB)

Jesus says this to a group of chief priests and elders… Apparently it doesn’t matter under what title you’re going by… how religious you think you are… but the Kingdom of Heaven is filled with people who have Heard and Responded… who Go and Do...

Its almost funny how much we love to say "yes" to things. Saying yes to someone or some project almost makes you feel powerful or important, or perhaps you're just too compassionate for your own good, or maybe you just never learned how to say "no"....

We live in a world of "YES's!" And the yes becomes glorified! Ironically praised despite whether or not we go to the vineyard. Actually it's a surprise when someone does go.
I mean who really believes the promises of those diet plans or politicians?
Or that friend who says they'll call you sometime... the classic "we'll get together soon!"?
"YES!"

What does it mean that God calls us to be part of a kingdom that exists out of a different framework? To be a people who radically goes into the vineyard?
