Today's Bible Verse: “Which of the two did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you.” — Matthew 21:31

How will you respond to Jesus when He challenges your heart? Matthew 21:31 reminds us that following Jesus is not simply about what we say—it is about how we respond to His truth. Jesus uses the story of two sons to show that genuine faith is revealed through repentance, obedience, and a willingness to change.
