The Son Who Does the Father’s Will

Matthew 21: 28-32

 

Today’s Gospel passage comes from Chapter 21 of the Gospel According to Matthew.

The chapter began with Jesus entering Jerusalem.  Prior to this passage, Jesus had purified the Temple by chasing out the vendors and money changers.

 

The plot is thickening leading to his arrest, unjust trial, and crucifixion. 

 

Jesus is the son who “does the Father’s will” to the point of death.  This is also the emphasis of the 2^nd reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Philippians. 

 

Thanks to Jesus who does the Father’s will, sinners who believe in him may now enter the kingdom of God.
