Read Matthew 21:23-32
To believe Jesus is to obey Him.
Which son did right? The obedient one.
Which sinner did right--prostitutes or religious leaders? Prostitutes.
Jesus didn't care about promoting his authority, He cares about those who just believe.
Christians love to talk about belief but were we fail is in our obedience.
There were two Christians, one who talked the talk about belief and one who walked the talk with obedience. Tell me which one is of the faith? Faith without works is dead.
If you truly obeyed Jesus what would your life look like?

"Joy in Justice" Proverbs 21:15
"The exercise of justice is joy for the righteous, but is terror to the worker of iniquity." Proverbs 21:15
Justice usually come after one in authority hands down a sentence for a perpetrator to be punished.
Justice may not come as we would want it to, but it will come. When all men stand before Jesus, He will be the Just and the Justifier of all.
Those who are righteous have joy in justice because their complaint has been heard and their case stands open before a wise and all knowing and just God. Those martyred saints in Revelation 6 cry out for the blood of those who killed them because of their hatred for Christ.
God Almighty, will enact justice.
Those workers of iniquity may have gotten away their whole lives with their acts of cruelty and viciousness, but the day will come when a holy fire will burn off the dross and reveal all.
Which person will you be?
Read Proverbs 21:1-17 and weigh yourself on the scales of justice. Better to do it now while there is mercy available in Jesus.

"We May Not See Our Sin" Psalm 19:13
The book of Numbers calls this sin, "a high hand," a flagrant sin that has become such a normal part of one's life that it reeks of arrogance and pride.
Should we not be praying the previous verse, Ps 19:12, "Who can discern his ways? Acquit me of hidden faults."
Many times we cannot even see our sins, it may take an objective person to point it out. And never discount Gods use of such means of grace - another person! They may be just whom God has sent.
Cry out to Jesus even now to show you your "high handed" sins. He who raised His two hands and received the nails is able to prevent your sins from ruling over you.
