Jesus said to the chief priests and the elders of the people:
βWhat is your opinion?
A man had two sons.
He came to the first and said,
βSon, go out and work in the vineyard today.β
The son said in reply, βI will not,β
but afterwards he changed his mind and went.
The man came to the other son and gave the same order.
He said in reply, βYes, sir,β but did not go.
Which of the two did his fatherβs will?β
They answered, βThe first.β
Jesus said to them, βAmen, I say to you,
tax collectors and prostitutes
are entering the Kingdom of God before you.
When John came to you in the way of righteousness,
you did not believe him;
but tax collectors and prostitutes did.
Yet even when you saw that,
you did not later change your minds and believe him.ββοΈπποΈβοΈ

When Jesus had come into the temple area,
the chief priests and the elders of the people approached him
as he was teaching and said,
"By what authority are you doing these things?
And who gave you this authority?"
Jesus said to them in reply,
"I shall ask you one question, and if you answer it for me,
then I shall tell you by what authority I do these things.
Where was John's baptism from?
Was it of heavenly or of human origin?"
They discussed this among themselves and said,
"If we say 'Of heavenly origin,' he will say to us,
'Then why did you not believe him?'
But if we say, 'Of human origin,' we fear the crowd,
for they all regard John as a prophet."
So they said to Jesus in reply, "We do not know."
He himself said to them,
"Neither shall I tell you by what authority I do these things."βοΈπποΈβοΈ

Invert your world and see what happens!
The universe does not offer financing.
This is hard to accept because modern life trains us to expect the opposite. We are addicted to "Buy Now, Pay Later." You live in the house before you pay off the mortgage. You get the degree before you pay off the loan. You eat the meal before you ask for the check.
We are conditioned to enjoy the benefit today and pay the cost tomorrow.
Achievement reverses the transaction. It requires full payment in advance (and regular payments forever). If you want a fit body, a calm mind, a healthy relationship, or financial independence, the cost is non-negotiable. You must do the work before you get the result.
This is why most people quit. They pay a little, see nothing, and stop. They never make it far enough to see the first return arrive.

Jesus said to his disciples:
"What is your opinion?
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,
will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills
and go in search of the stray?
And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it
than over the ninety-nine that did not stray.
In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father
that one of these little ones be lost." βοΈπποΈπ―οΈπ―οΈ
