Matthew 21:30
Not only did this young man fail to obey his father’s directive, but he lied about it. You might say, so did the first! Well no, not really. The first said he would not go, but repented and went. This one any father would easily forgive. The second lied by saying he would go because he never went at all. Nor did he inform his father that he had no intention of obeying. This is the difference between those who sin much, but repent much, and those who seem to sin little, but are self-righteous. The Lord wisely knows that his bitterest enemies may become his most endearing friends, and his pretended friends will be those who betray him in the end.
