- 3pm worker [Whatever is right]
- 5pm worker [Idle; whatever is right]
V9-10: Pay Time
- The order: last to first
- The expectations: work harder, get paid more
- The amount: My ways are not your ways...
V11-12: The Reality & Frustration of the First
V13-16: The Response
Takeaway
- God is gracious; His ways our not our ways nor his thoughts our thoughts.
- How's my heart when others are blessed more than me?
- What perspective am I viewing my current circumstances through?
- Gods Grace: We are all at the The 11th hour. What hour did I start?
- Like those who saw the owner blessed the other worker and had jealousy in their hearts – how do I do?
- Maybe you are saying – he never came to me and never called, well I say then today he is calling; even right now. So will you go and follow Jesus?
