In this teaching from Matthew 21–22, Jesus exposes the danger of religious hypocrisy by contrasting outward profession with inward obedience. Through the parables of the vineyard, the cornerstone, and the wedding feast, He reveals that God’s Kingdom is entrusted only to those who repent, bear fruit, and submit to being broken. Religious knowledge, activity, and self-righteousness are shown to be inadequate substitutes for true obedience and dependence on Christ. The message culminates in the essential truth that acceptance before God requires not only forgiveness of sins but also being clothed in the righteousness of Christ, emphasizing that many are called, but only those who respond in humility and obedience are chosen.
