Watch the story

Jesus was telling the story to help people learn that we need to do the right thing, not just say the right thing. Just like the first son, we don't always want to do the right thing (like put our toys away when asked or be kind to someone who is mean to us) but God wants us to do those things. When we change our minds and do the right things, God is happy. The second son said he would help but he didn't do it. How might God (and other people) feel if we didn't do what we said? I think He would feel sad. We should keep our promises, just like God keeps his promises.
Say sorry to God for not always doing the right thing and not keeping our promises. Ask him to help us say the right thing and to do it!
Jesus spoke love and showed love - lets be like Jesus!
