This Makes No Sense

Day 9
Matthew 20:1-16
- Seriously, this makes no sense. When you read this parable you can totally relate to the workers that are mad about thier days pay. But when Jesus tells a story you better pay attention and you better figure out why He told it and how He intended for it to relate to you. The vineyard owner pays the workers that have been working for only a few hours the same as he does the ones that have been there all day doing the hard work during the heat of the day. Being from Texas where the "heat of the day" can melt your eye lashes I can totally relate. But what is intended by this parable is that it doesnt make sense to us and that we dont totally understand it. This story can be paralleled to the gift of salvation that we all as believers will receive. Some of us will work hard for it, some will get it early and then just coast through life, some will make many mistakes then repent and receive it, but we all receive the same thing. The same eternal gift is given to all that want it no matter what your circumstance.
