It is obvious to see how the kJV continues to be mocked by others so to corrupt the minds of Christians, by using miss spelled words so as to make the kJV seem false to allow their versions of the bible to seem right! It is an abomination to God, to add or take away from his word. Now as for the scripture in Mathew 20:16 You better get ready for he is coming soon.
Our Holy Father have prepared his only begotten Son to sit on his side coz Jesus is the perfect obedience to the Father to fullfill the scriptures of what God had commanded to Jesus to do when he wast sent to the world. at the time of his life, Jesus performed his teaching, healing, blessing and forgiving sins and was condemned to death we must understand his cruxifiction and resurrection. God gave Jesus a divine recognition because of his perfect obedience. There is no other above name is Jesus. John 3:16 For God so love the world that he gave his one and only Son Jesus Christ whosoever believes in him will not be perish but have eternal life. If Jesus can obey to the Father we must also obey Jesus what he have told us to follow. Jesus is the only way the truth and the life no man comes to the father except thru Jesus. He is the gateway for us to access to heaven and be with the father. We must obey his commandments until rapture and believe Jesus as our Savior . Jesus loves all of us and he is faithful to his promises. Thanks Jesus for his precious blood that shed for us.
I agree with Chatauna Robinson 's comment about the church being a sanctuary for some. There are many needy people who have no one to help them and their understanding of the Scriptures is weak. The one thing most can agree on is that the CHURCH is "suppose " to help people...as Jesus said, it is there to serve...So these needy people go to the church for this help and too often the help they receive is more in the form of "We 'll pray for you. " instead of providing what the people actually need. This is a sad situation, yet defines the times we live in, i.e. a laodicean age...
Wesleys says that Jesus CAN grant someone to sit at his right side. But this is contrary to what Jesus himself said. All bibles say that Jesus cannot grant anyone to sit at his right side. Matt20:23. Wesleys credibility is damaged to say the least.
Sounds like the labourers that started out thought that their time invested, by being first, was more important than that their love for the work. I feel that the saints of God must remember that we can not afford to loose our love for God 's work and souls that come in no matter what hour. We are labourers and labourers work until the end.
I especially like to see my way. Without Christ I can 't even see the Kingdom of God. Thank God Almighty, I am saved, I was blind too, but now I see. Be blessed, Pastor Evangelist, Joe Rucker
Evangelist Chatauna Robinson on Matthew 20 - 9 years ago
Hello Bill I understand what you are talking about, however people see the church as a sanctuary, a place of refuge. When they cannot find any help anywhere else they go to where they believe they can get help. Unfortunately in these troubled times, help from the church is not like it used to be in some churches.
In our day many people contact a church to see what is available for them. Jesus didn t call on the synagogue to see what programs were available. Jesus was not looking for his needs to be met. He was looking for opportunities to meet others needs. If we want to be great for God, we need to live like a servant and not like a guest.
mathew 20 28 In other words all the choosen one are to serve the called one, Jesus said if one want to be great, He She must be prepared to serve them all. That 's why God gave Christ a higher name of them all, coz He served saved Human kind..
Who will serve? ex. A little child cannot serve his mother but mother serve her child. It means jesus say "I came for serve ". It is a method of politeness when a powerful. Person serve weaker continuously POLITENESS
Im speaking on a topic that says "NOT ME ' and the text is taken from Matthew 20 18. It was written in the old testament before Jesus was born. The book of Isaiah 53 says it all but, who will be the instrument to be used for other people 's destruction or downfall? It is happening in Nigeria and in the world today. People are being used to destroy other people 's joy and happiness just like Judas was used to betray Jesus. Everything that is happening in the world today had been written and it must surely come to pass but, who will be used to accomplish negative things definitely "NOT ME '
In a manner of speaking, these labourers resemble newly won souls at an altar call, zealous and willing to work in His vineyard. In reality, the first hands normally reckon they are the chosen ones but forget dismally that we are all disciples hired for one purpose, it ain 't about me or you but the harvest and no matter how hard one works, the result ought to be the same Harvest
Many are called but few are chosen and be not so inclined to think also that because your pockets are empty that that s what make you poor So to think that because you are poor makes you last consider what the bible states in Matthew 5 3 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven In Matthew 18 1 6 Jesus reminded His disciples in verse 3 and said Verily I say unto you except ye be converted and become as little children ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven
This verse means that in the end, our heart attitude is more important than length of service. It shows that God will distribute his Kingdom rewards as he deems fit. I believe the last first; first last principle is in reference to our humility and willingness to obey the leading of the Holy Spirit regardless of when we get started. Those workers who'd toiled in the scorching heat all day were offended when they received the same pay as the workers who'd only worked one hour. They grumbled against God. NOT COOL. I believe his is prophetic and means that those who are "least" in the Kingdom (the faithful unknowns), will be raptured first, pre-tribulation, and crowned as the Bride, and those who believed they were "greatest" in the Kingdom will go through 3.5 years of Hot Summer Sun aka the Tribulation. If they remain faithful overcomers and keep God's word, they will be raptured Mid-trib. Rev. 12:5, Rev. 2:26:27.
That we are here to Love, not judge, never to think you are better for we are Blessed Only because of Christ Jesus and All He did and Does for us!!!!!!!!!!
This chapter of the bible event which are to come before the dreadful day of the Lord.It stats from the 1st hour upto the 11th hour.the 11 th hour;are thes last days we are living in.There will be no other generation after this.
I think in our day and time to often someone accepts Jesus as Lord and Savior and people question their salvation. I think Jesus is showing us that its never to late and the reward is the same for all men. Eternal life with Jesus and our Heavenly Father!!!
(v) 2 States: When he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day he sent them into his vineyard...
The Vineyard Owner was NOT paying by the HOUR! pay for the WHOLE day. That is the parable!
All the prophetic interpretations, though right, don't matter. I have my own view and the parable that the Almighty has shown to me. That no matter how late you come to him, He will gladly accept you and give you his blessing; that blessing is equal to that of Elijah and Job who were faithful to him since birth.
I will see if I can shed some light on the parable of the vineyard (verses 1 to 16).
1. All parables have dual applications (doctrinal and spiritual);
2. The man is Jesus;
3. Householder is owner of property;
4. Early in morning is first thing;
5. Laborers are the 12 disciples;
6. Vineyard is mission field (world);
7. Penny is the compensation for accepting your new position (child of God) in the mission field (world);
8. Hours is daytime hours ( John 11:9);
9. Watch is nighttime hours ( Mark 13:34-37);
10. In Jewish times, third hours is 09 am, six hours is noon, 11th hour is 5 pm, 6 pm begins the new day on Jewish clock. Remember God used Jews to write the bible.
From early morning to the 11th hour encompasses the church age (approximately 2000 years). When a person receives Jesus as saviour and becomes a child of God regardless if they converted in the 1st century or just before the rapture. All saints in Christ receive equal justification, holy spirit, inheritance, and opportunity for rewards; all under grace and mercy by Jesus Christ. There are certain promises God is giving out equally to all saints of God, regardless how long a person has been saved and what time in church history they lived.
