—Matthew 20:1, 6-16

Here is a contrast between heavenly and earthly kingdoms. God rewards everyone equally and He tells us what the reward will be. He rewards us for doing the job when He calls us. Man rewards individuals based on the amount of time they spend on the job. Does it seem unfair that someone who accepts Christ on his/her death bed should receive the same reward as one who has served Christ from childhood? God’s reward of eternal life is the same for everyone who believes, and nothing is better than that. If we are being honest, it is not “fair” that anyone should receive it, yet God, in His grace, freely gives it.
