The Prodigal son, amazing wisdom of Jesus in that story. The older brother was very jealous of all the attention the younger got when he repented. His heart was not right towards his brother. Instead he should have been filled with joy for his brothers repentance, return to God.

If I say I'm going to buy bread but later don't go. Did I change my mind?

Thanks for reading my post Bob and commenting. I dont believe we have met so Hello!

Let's read it together again, Matthew 21:30, - and he came to the second and said likewise, And the second son answered and said, I go Sir, and went not The second son first said I will go work but then did not go. Did he change his mind?

I agree, that can be worldly sorrow. Biblical obedience is when the first son went and worked by obeying his fathers commandments. By his actions we know the first son had godly sorrow.

So the first that went and worked in his fathers vineyard as he was commanded did not repent. The second who did not obey his father but rather chose to not obey his fathers commandment did repent. Sir, are you serious?
