—Matthew 20:1-16

We hate to stand in lines and wait our turn; we don’t like to get cut off in traffic. At every turn, we are encouraged by the media and society to put self first and even told that if we can somehow manage to be king-of-the-mountain, we will have made it.
As Christians, however, that is not our standard. We are called to be different. Our eternity in heaven has very little to do with “being first” here on earth. We are called to be obedient to our Lord and savior and to put him first in our lives. We may not gain status on earth that way, but we do gain eternal status as children of the King!
