Today is the Day of Salvation
Pastor Scott Brenner Matthew 20:1-16
[20:1] "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
[20:2] "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
[20:3] "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
[20:4] "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
[20:5] "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
[20:6] "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, and said to them, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
[20:7] "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right you will receive.'
[20:8] "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
[20:9] "And when those came who were hired about the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
[20:10] "But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
[20:11] "And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
[20:12] "saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
[20:13] "But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
[20:14] 'Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.
[20:15] 'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eye evil because I am good?'
[20:16] "So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."
[20:2] "Now when he had agreed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
[20:3] "And he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
[20:4] "and said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
[20:5] "Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
