In today’s Gospel, Jesus speaks with the authority figures of the Jewish faith, He asks them to tell him which of two children is truly obedient to the wishes of their parent.  When the parent asks the two “kids” to perform a certain task, the first refuses, but latter does what is asked.  The second one, in contrast, say yes he will do it but does not do what is being asked.  Jesus compares the religious leaders to the second son who says “yes” but fails to do what is requested.  The repentant, public sinners are compared to the first child who initially refuses to do the parent’s demands, but later fulfills what is asked. 

As we draw to the end of this first part of the Advent season, we are called to reflect on our response to doing God’s will.  It is easy to say “yes” to God, but it is harder to actually do what God asks of us.  On the other side of the coin, there is hope for us who have sinned and had said “no” to the Lord God.  We can still change our ways and begin to more fully respond to God by doing what we know is being asked of us.
 
We need to lead a responsible Christian life, saying “yes” to God. We should become men and women who profess our Faith in word and deed, knowing that, the Christian way lies in performance, not just promise, and the mark of a Christian is obedience, graciously and courteously given.
