The
son at first refused to go but then changed his mind. We are not told by the
Lord the reason for the son’s refusal to go. We should not try to guess. It was
just a simple fact. Upon reflection the son changed his mind. Our mind’s
function is very important and we need to keep our minds in line with God’s
leading and instruction for our lives.
