30 June 2024 - ENCS

Pastor Mark Chew spoke about parables three
In Matthew twenty one and twenty two we see
The focus of all three is actually Jesus, the Son
“What do you think?” is appropriate for everyone

The parable of two sons Jesus shared, not afraid
One son pretended obedience, the other delayed
True obedience is like Jesus, following God’s will
It may not sound that exciting but it sure does fulfil
Obedience also reveals the trust we have in God
It is the hallmark of Jesus so we should be awed

The parable of the talents talks about stewardship
And faithfulness to use our talents on our life’s trip
For this is how we should give honour to our God
Fruitfulness serves to revere the Son we applaud
This parable also acts to foretell Jesus’ final days
His suffering and death due to others’ evil ways

The wedding banquet parable has persuasion
The first invitees were indifferent to the occasion
So the invitation then became open to everyone
Akin to our imputed righteousness via the Son
