Matthew 20:1-16
It is about the kingdom of God.
Basic complaints:
We did more
We spent longer time working
We surfered more
We suffer socially as a result
It is not in relation to what you do but how God knows you.
Sometimes he gives someone more than what He has given You. Sometimes he gives you more than what he gives others.
And yet his blessings are equal for everyone. Contradiction?
Important principle of parable
What appears to be unfairness is in fact a demonstration of divine kindness and fairness.
What does denarius blessing reveal about how God gives blessings.
1. The denarius blessing reminds us that God's gifts are usually mathed with each persons need.
The Bible recognizes that accomplishments may vary from person to person(the sower)
The denarius speaks of God's wisdom of providing according to need (all need a denarius a day)
2. The denarius blessing reminds us that every hard work will be rewarded.
All of them performed hard work thought some spend less time than others.
3. The denarius blessing reminds us That sincerity in wanting to be blessed is an important part of the process of being blessed.
All the men desired to find work. In the jewish mind finding work is equated with being blessed.
How can this be applied to our situation today:
This is an invitation!
Express the desired to be bless, desiring is the first step in receiving
I am blessed and i will continue to be blessed!
