    The Parable of A Certain Man Who Had Two Sons

    Uploaded by

    Domvir Castle
    This passage describes a parable told by Jesus about a man with two sons. The man asks his first son to work in the vineyard, and the son refuses but later repents and goes. The man asks his second son who says he will go but does not. Jesus uses this to illustrate two classes of people - those who understand God's will but do not follow it (like the Jewish leaders), and those who do not understand but have an obedient heart (like tax collectors and prostitutes). Deeds matter more than words or knowledge; what is important is obeying God's commission.

    Matthew 21:28-31

    Prepared by: KrizDawn Causing


    Matthew 21:28-32
    28 But

    what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he
    came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
    vineyard.
    29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he

    repented, and went.


    30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he

    answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.


    31 Whether of them obeyed the will of his father? They say

    unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say
    unto you, That the tax collectors and the harlots go into
    the kingdom of God before you.
    Verse 28
    28 But

    what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he
    came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my
    vineyard.

    Man – Lord (Jesus)


    Two sons – 2 classes of people
    Vineyard - Church
    “…and he came to the first,
    and said…”

     Denotes two distinct principles of the divine love
    and divine wisdom.

     Before God can address man to advantage with His


    divine wisdom, He must first come and move man’s
    affection by the presence of divine love.
    “…go work to day in my
    vineyard”

    Isaiah 5:7 “The vineyard of the Lord of Hosts
    is the House of Israel”

    Working in the church is the result of


    cherishing the principles of heavenly truth
    from Jesus Christ, who is the true vine.
    “…go work to day in my
    vineyard”

    Important duty binding on all the children
    of men, as implying a life in conformity to
    the truth, signified by the term go, and
    also cooperation with Jesus Christ in
    opposing those affections, appetites, and
    passions, which are contrary to the truth,
    signified by the term work.
    They ought to cherish in their
    minds the principles of
    heavenly life, by casting away
    all worldly principle, and thus
    rendering themselves
    receptive of the divine love
    and the divine wisdom. (love,
    grace, judgment)
    Reply of the 1st son:
    I will not: but afterward he repented, and went

    2 considerations

    1. Understanding of the son was not in agreement with


    his father’s requirement.

    2. Will of the son is not opposed to the father’s


    command.
    Reply of the 1 st son:
    I will not:

    but afterward he repented, and went

    Signifies the people who do not understand the counsels of


    God but has the obedient will or affection.

    Reply of the 2 nd son:
    “I go, sir: and went not”

     His understanding was in agreement with his father but
    his will is opposed to his father’s command.
    Reply of the 2 nd son:
    “I go, sir: and went not”

    Represents the people who received and understood the
    Word of God, knows His will, and the proper Christian
    bearing but refuses to follow them and usually led
    astray.

    JEWISH NATION

    commandments, and
    precepts of the divine
    TAX COLLECTORS
    wisdom
    AND HARLOTS
    2 Sons = 2 classes of people

    1. Principled in an obedient will but not so much
    in enlightened understanding;

    2. Possession of an enlightened understanding but


    is deficient in the point of obedience.
    Mankind may be
    referred to two classes:
     Knows their duties but  Has the will to do the
    does not practice them. duty but has no
    knowledge about it.
     Possess the light but is
    not willing to shine.  New in faith but very
    convicted spread God’s
     Has the skills/talents but light through actions
    not willing to work
     Not very talented/skilled
    but very willing to help
    Deeds count, not words.

    Profession without
    practice is hypocrisy.
    Christ tells us -

    Let us work in his vineyard today with
    an obedient spirit whether we are
    skilled or not, professional or not,
    expert in the Bible or not.

    Our OBEDIENCE to our


    COMMISSION is what Christ asks
    from us.
