While he refuses to answer them directly, he offers two parables. Why does Jesus compare two sons who change their minds, and what does this tell us about real repentance? Is Christianity about self-improvement and good behavior, or something completely different? Why would the master send his own son to the vineyard knowing he'd be killed? Watch the full video on YouTube for the answer to these questions (and more!) about Matthew 21:23-46. Contributor Rev.
