In Matthew 21:23–32, Jesus challenges the religious authorities who question where his authority comes from. He responds with the parable of two sons: one says no but eventually goes, while the other says yes but does not.

Philippians 2:1-4… “Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others.” vss. 3-4 Because we tend to focus on the theological writings of Paul in our scriptures we don’t appreciate the vision that he had for our life together as the followers of Jesus.
