Jesus and the Temple Leaders

This Sunday we will look at the interesting conversation between Jesus and the temple leaders in Jerusalem.

In this Gospel, Jesus tells the religious leaders that prostitutes and tax collectors will enter the Kingdom of God ahead of them because they believe in what John the Baptist has preached to them.

In line with this, we shall look at the people who belong to the Kingdom according to Jesus and discover its implications for us today.

Our Worship service starts at 2pm.

Matthew 21:28–32 GNT

28 “Now, what do you think? There was once a man who had two sons. He went to the older one and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’ 29 ‘I don't want to,’ he answered, but later he changed his mind and went. 30 Then the father went to the other son and said the same thing. ‘Yes, sir,’ he answered, but he did not go. 31 Which one of the two did what his father wanted?”

“The older one,” they answered.

So Jesus said to them, “I tell you: the tax collectors and the prostitutes are going into the Kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John the Baptist came to you showing you the right path to take, and you would not believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Even when you saw this, you did not later change your minds and believe him.
