Parable of the Two Sons
A father asks his two sons to go and work in the vineyard. The first son initially refuses but later changes his mind and goes to work. The second son agrees to go, but he does not go. Jesus then asks his listeners which of the two sons did what his father wanted. They reply that the first son initially refused but later obeyed.
Why do you think Jesus highlights the actions of the first son, who initially refused to obey but later changed his mind?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
