DISCIPLES make disciples #2

"What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.' 'I will not,' he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. He answered, 'I will, sir,' but he did not go. 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.'" (Matthew21:28-31)
I have a saying I use often: "If I have mumps but tell you I have measles, what will you catch?"
The answer is "Not measles!"

Only real disciples can make disciples.

Jesus makes the same point in this parable.

It is who we are and not what we say that matters.

What are people "catching" from you today?
