Which of the two did the will of the father? They said to Him the first, Jesus said to them, “assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you.

Lord, I thank You that You are merciful and kind, and slow to anger. Your directions for us in Your Word are all good to live a good life. Forgive us for our whining and help us to follow Your perfect Word, that Your peace and love may rest on us every day. We ask this in Your Son’s perfect name Jesus Christ. Amen
