  • Matthew 20:1-16

    And Jesus continues with the lesson of the first being the last with this parable. A landowner is the comparison this time. The Kingdom of God is like a landowner seeking employees in the early morning. He hires them for a denarius for the day. This was the typical amount for a day's wages for a laborer so this wouldn't have been unusual. The unusual bit would come later.

    But then Jesus adds to the story that this owner then returns to the market another 4 times to hire workers for the same amount he paid workers for all day. And at the end of the day this landowner lines up those he hired and begins paying them by starting with the latest hired and chosing to pay all workers a full day's wage.

    Now Jesus did this as part of a lesson, explaining that those who worked and bore the heat of the day would complain. But the truth is a denarius was a fair wage for the period of a full day. And the owner was well within his rights to pay what he wished.

    The idea was that what was given was the same reward whether one came early or one came late. The big picture is Jesus is making it clear that the reward of eternal life goes to even those who show up late. In context, Jesus is saying that the Kingdom is going to be open to the groups the nation of Israel considered beneath them and as a result would be jealous of those who are brought into the kingdom even if they were not brought in from the beginning as Israel was.

    Even today, non messianic Jews are extremely jealous in defending their position before God as His original people and cannot grasp that from 70 AD to current times there's been no temple at which to offer sacrifice. No real Aaronic priesthood either. The thought of anyone entering into God's kingdom apart from the nation of Israel is repugnant to them, let alone the idea someone would be entering before them.

    And some of the apostles really continued to struggle with this concept of Gentiles being welcomed into God's Kingdom. Especially Peter, who was part of the problem that became known as the first great heresy of the church. It took the Apostle Paul to correct him. So the Catholic notion of an infallible Peter is entirely fictional.

    It took 2 consecutive visions from God to get Peter off his butt to go speak with Cornelius. Even then, Peter hesitated to share the gospel with a Gentile. And even after this, Peter shares in the heresy and even Barnabas is carried away.

    Jesus is using the national pride of Israel against them. He knows their jealousy regarding others who joined the Kingdom. The first century Jews were zealous for their nation while at the same time having what they considered good reasons to despise other nations.

    The faithful Jews who did receive Jesus heard Him when He taught that ALL nations would be blessed with the gift of being able to turn to Him and believe. They heard him. And this was one of the great failures of Peter and some of the other believers.

    On the day of judgment, the faithful witnesses will be standing behind the believers of today for their reward. Not because we earned it, but because God has mercy. Jesus is the prophet foretold by Moses.

    Deuteronomy 18:15-19
    [15] “The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen; to him you shall listen. [16] This is in accordance with everything that you asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Do not let me hear the voice of the Lord my God again, and do not let me see this great fire anymore, or I will die!’ [17] And the Lord said to me, ‘They have spoken well. [18] I will raise up for them a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them everything that I command him. [19] And it shall come about that whoever does not listen to My words which he speaks in My name, I Myself will require it of him.

    Moses knew the Messiah would be rejected and God says if any Israelite does not listen to Him, God would require their punishment and they will be utterly cut off from the people of God.

    Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we are the new Israel. We are the saints, we are the last who became first. We are not better than the Jews, we are not worse off. We are saved by grace through faith. We should with our very last breath be sharing the gospel with everyone.




    [1] “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. [2] When he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius for the day, he sent them into his vineyard. [3] And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace; [4] and to those he said, ‘You go into the vineyard also, and whatever is right, I will give you.’ And so they went. [5] Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing. [6] And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing around; and he *said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’ [7] They *said to him, ‘Because no one hired us.’ He *said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.’ [8] “Now when evening came, the owner of the vineyard *said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, starting with the last group to the first.’ [9] When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius. [10] And so when those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius. [11] When they received it, they grumbled at the landowner, [12] saying, ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day’s work and the scorching heat.’ [13] But he answered and said to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? [14] Take what is yours and go; but I want to give to this last person the same as to you. [15] Is it not lawful for me to do what I want with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?’ [16] So the last shall be first, and the first, last.”

  • HOW CAN WE TALK WITH JESUS

    Talking with Jesus is simply praying. You do not need fancy or big words. Just talk to Him out loud or in your mind like you would talk to a close friend or a loving father. Be honest about your feelings, your worries, and your joys.

    Steps to Start a Conversation:

    - Find a quiet place: Go somewhere with no distractions so you can focus your mind.

    - Be yourself: Do not try to sound holy or perform. Jesus wants your real, honest heart.

    - Share what is on your mind: Tell Him what makes you happy, and tell Him what hurts.

    - Listen and be still: Prayer is two-way. After you speak, pause, quiet your thoughts, and read the Bible to hear His guidance.

    - Adoration: Praise Jesus for who He is and His goodness.

    - Confession: Tell Him your mistakes and ask for His forgiveness.

    - Thanksgiving: Thank Him for the good things in your life.

    - Supplication: Ask Him for help, strength, or healing for yourself and others.

    “WHO GOD IS TO ME”
    MY ROCK
    Psalm 18:2 (LLV) —
    “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I take refuge; my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold.”
    Life
    does not always
    give us
    steady ground.
    Circumstances
    change.
    Plans
    collapse.
    People
    disappoint us.
    Things
    we thought
    were certain
    suddenly
    are not.
    David knew
    that kind
    of life.
    He had known
    victory
    and danger.
    Friendship
    and betrayal.
    Celebration
    and fear.
    There were times
    when he literally
    hid among
    the rocks
    to escape
    those who wanted
    to destroy him.
    Perhaps that
    is why
    his words
    carry
    such confidence.
    “The LORD
    is my rock.”
    Not:
    The LORD
    might become
    my rock
    if trouble comes.
    Not:
    The LORD
    was my rock
    when things
    were difficult.
    The LORD
    is
    my rock.
    Right now.
    David's security
    was not found
    in the stability
    of his circumstances.
    It was found
    in the unchanging
    character
    of his God.
    Then David
    keeps going.
    “My fortress.”
    When danger
    surrounds me,
    God is
    my security.
    “My deliverer.”
    When there seems
    to be
    no way out,
    God is
    my rescuer.
    “My shield.”
    When the battle
    comes close,
    God stands
    between me
    and what
    would destroy me.
    “My stronghold.”
    When everything
    around me
    feels uncertain,
    there remains
    somewhere
    I can stand.
    Notice something
    beautiful
    in David's words.
    Again
    and again
    he says:
    “My.”
    My rock.
    My fortress.
    My deliverer.
    My God.
    My strength.
    My shield.
    My salvation.
    My stronghold.
    David was not
    describing
    a God
    he had merely
    heard about.
    He was describing
    the God
    he had learned
    to trust.
    There is
    a difference
    between knowing
    that God
    is a rock
    and being able
    to say,
    “He is
    my rock.”
    That kind
    of confidence
    is formed
    through walking
    with Him.
    Through storms.
    Through uncertainty.
    Through prayers
    answered
    in unexpected ways.
    Through discovering,
    again
    and again,
    that when everything
    else moves,
    God does not.
    The storm
    may still come.
    The ground
    around us
    may still shake.
    But our confidence
    does not rest
    upon the absence
    of trouble.
    It rests
    upon the presence
    of Someone
    who cannot
    be moved.
    A new beginning finds somewhere solid to stand:
    when everything around me changes, the Lord remains my rock.
    Reflection: What feels uncertain in my life today, and am I trying to find security in changing circumstances or in the unchanging character of God?
    Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for being my rock when everything around me feels uncertain. You are my fortress, my deliverer, my strength, and my refuge. Teach me not merely to know these things about You, but to trust them personally. When circumstances shift beneath my feet, remind me that You have not moved. Help me stand securely in You today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
