Holy Tuesday Wake-Up Call

Holy Tuesday slows us down long enough to see the gap between what we say and what we do, and it asks if we are truly ready for Christ or just assuming we have time. We walk through Jesus’ parables as a direct wake-up call toward obedience, preparation, and fruit that shows up in real life. 
• B-Rob’s personal turnaround and the “temple” mindset for honoring God with our bodies 
• Holy Tuesday as the turning point where the tone shifts from cheers to urgency 
• Jesus challenged on authority in the temple and why truth brings tension 
• The two sons and the difference between talk and obedience 
• The vineyard tenants and the danger of hearing truth yet rejecting it

Hey guys, it's B Rob. I grew up on fast-processed microwave junk food. At one point in my life I weighed 265 pounds. That's like a half of a quarter of a ton. Lord have mercy. Recently, me and my body and my spirit, we had a little sit-down, a little come to Jesus meeting, you know what I mean? Because in 1 Corinthians it says, Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit whom we receive from God. Therefore, you should honor God with your bodies. That's why I teamed up with my good friend and spiritual mentor. You might have heard of him. He's an 8-time world champion wrestler by the name of Nikita Kolov. You know the Russian nightmare. Well, Nikita and I have teamed up with the good folks at Trainer for some good advice, amazing health products, and great team and community. Your boy B-Rob is even down in the 170s for the first time in over 30 years, and I feel amazing. Well, we are working on a project we like to call the Provision Project to strengthen our body, fund the mission, and build the legacy. Wanna know more? Visit www.traynaut.com forward slash B-rob.

Hey guys, it's B Rob. It is Tuesday, March 31st. It is a Holy Tuesday, and today we're gonna take reflection. We're gonna slow down, we're gonna breathe. Because Holy Week moves pretty fast. We have palm branches waved on Sunday, the crowd is loud, hope feels close. That hope, that hold on pain ends, feels like it's right on their fingertips, but by Tuesday the tone shifts, the cheering fade, intention rises, Christ starts speaking a little differently, not really softer, but deeper, sharper, urgent. Because Christ knows something the crowd doesn't know. You see the cross is coming. So let's go there for a few minutes. It's Tuesday. Jerusalem is crowded. People are everywhere. Pilgrims, merchants, religious leaders, curious onlookers, and then in the middle of it all, in the middle of all that, Jesus walks back into the temple. This isn't casual anymore. The day before, he just flipped tables, called out corruption. Now what? The leaders are watching him really closely, trying to trap him, trying to discredit him. Sound familiar? It's funny how that works the closer and closer you get to the truth. And instead of backing down, Jesus leans in. Look at Matthew chapter twenty-one, verse twenty three. It says, Jesus entered the temple courts, and while he was teaching, the chief priest and the elders of the people came to him. By what authority are you doing these things? They asked. You see? You can feel the tension, right? It's not really just a question. It's a challenge. Who do you think you are? But see, Christ is the all-knowing. Christ responds not just with answers, but with stories, with parables. Truth wrapped in pictures that hit deeper than an argument ever could. First, he talks about the parable of the two sons. Jesus says there was a father with two sons. He asked the first one to go in the vineyard. The son says no. The father asked him to go work in the vineyard. The son says no. But later he changes his mind and goes and works in the vineyard. But the second son says, yes, I'll go. But do you think he never ever does? No, he doesn't. He just said what he said to be appealing at the time and the moment. Matthew 21, verse 31 says, Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. Man, that had to sting. That was a slap across the face because Jesus is saying it's not about what you say, it's about what you actually do. It's not about appearance, it's about obedience. So let's bring that in closer. How many times have we said the right things at the right moment just to say the right things at the right moment? Things like I'll pray more. I'll get more serious about my faith. I'll change. I know it took me a long time. I said it a lot, but didn't do it. You see, how many times have we said things just to say things because it was the right time in the right place. And then nothing changed. Because you didn't follow through with what you said. You see, Holy Tuesday confronts that gap between words and reality. Jesus tells another story. A landowner plants a vineyard, rents it out, sends servants to collect fruit. The tenants beat him, kill him. Okay. So the landowner's like, okay, I'll send my own son. Surely they won't do that to him. But guess what? They kill him too. In Matthew 21, verses 38 and 39, it says, This is their heir. They said, Come, let's kill him and take his inheritance. So they took him and threw him out in the vineyard and killed him. You see, this isn't subtle. This is Christ telling them exactly what they're about to do to him. And they know it. Look at Matthew 21, verse 45. When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables and they knew he was talking about them. You see, they knew it. But instead of repenting, they double down. There's an actual warning here. There's a picture being painted. You can hear the truth clearly and still reject it. Look at modern times. There's two timelines going on right now. Today, in 2026. The truth and the opposite of the truth. And it doesn't take a rocket science to figure it out. You can hear the truth clearly, you can see the truth clearly, and you can still reject the truth. You can be close to God and still miss him in a blink of an eye. Later, Christ shifts the focus. Now it's not about confrontation, it's about preparation. Look at this. Matthew 25, verses 1 and 3. At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five of them were wise. Guys, you want to know the difference? It was the oil. It was the preparation. You see, the five wise were ready. But the foolish five assumed they had time. And you know what they say about assuming. You make a of yourself, right? That's where this word assume comes from. Or maybe the other word. Matthew 25, verse 13. Therefore keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour. Guys, right here, this is the message. This is the heartbeat. This is the motor that runs Holy Tuesday. Don't drift. Do not delay. Do not assume you have time. Let me say it clearly and plainly. We live right now like we've got endless tomorrows. Oh, I'll deal with that later. Oh, I'll get right eventually. I'll take my faith serious someday. But today I have to work. Today I have to make money to pay bills. Today we have to take care of this. Today is such and such birthday. Christ is saying, be ready now. Don't be anxious. Don't be afraid. But wake up. Get into reality. Wake up. Get ready. Be ready. And Jesus tells another story. The parable of the talents. A master gives servants resources. Time passes. He returns back home. Some of the resources that were given were multiplied. One servant buried his and thought he was going to keep it safe for the master. But if you look at Matthew chapter twenty-five, verse twenty one. You have been faithful with a few things. I will put you in charge of many things. What's being said here is faith should not be passive. It should be multiplied. It should produce something. Maybe not perfection, but movement, growth, action. It's no different than having a bad day. A bad day is not a bad life. A bad day is still moving forward. So here's the question on Holy Tuesday. What are you doing with God? What are you doing with what God has given you? What are you doing with what God has given you? Your time, your gifts, your opportunities. Are you investing it or are you bearing it? Holy Tuesday is not loud like Palm Sunday. It's not heavy like Good Friday, but it is direct. It is personal. It looks you right in the eye and asks, are you living what you say you believe? Are you ready? Or are you just assuming you have time? It also asks one of the most important questions. Is your faith producing fruit? Because here is the reality of that situation. By the end of the week, Christ will be on the cross, and everything he says on Tuesday is shaped by that truth. This is not random teaching. This is final words from the Savior before the sacrifice. This is not meant to condemn anybody, but it's meant to wake you up. Because there's still time, not much, but there is still time to wake up. There is still time to realign. There is still time to respond. There is still time to actually live the way God intended you to live. So today, when you're out, don't just nod alone. Take it one step at a time. Fix those broken relationships you've been avoiding. Start that Bible study that you've been delaying. Surrender the past that you've been holding on to. Because let me tell you this, and I know this to be fact, because it's been in my life. But a bad day does not define you. But a distracted life will hurt you. And Jesus is calling you home. He's calling you. He's not calling you to be perfect, he's calling you to be ready. Matthew 25, verse 13. Therefore keep watch because you do not know the day or the hour. So, guys, stay ready. Not out of fear, because fear is false evidence appearing real. Fear is that person that tells you that bad day defines you when you know it does not. Stay ready because you know who's coming. And he's worth being ready for. And if you do not have a relationship with Christ, you better get right. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this moment. Thank you for this platform, Lord.
