Matthew 20:1-16
There is a parable about a kind land owner who owned a vineyard. He went out one day to hire workers. There were some workers there as soon as the gates opened. Some came a little later, and all day long laborers came in to earn wages. Just before the horn sounded at the end of the work day, with about 5 minutes left, a worker came in to earn some wages. The owner came out and paid everyone the same wage. Even the last worker to come in. You know how that must have gone over with the others, especially the ones who were there from the beginning of the work day. (But that's not what this parable is about.)
Here's the meaning in a nutshell. No matter what point in your life, you can accept Christ into your heart. You will all get the same reward which is Salvation through Christ Jesus and eternal life with Him instead of in the hot place. Remember, the sooner the better because you won't miss out on the many blessings and promises that God has in store for those who believe. I fell in love with the Lord when I was 9 years old. My father served in the church, but didn't accept Christ as his personal savior until he was about to cross over. We all knew he made it. God let us know, but that's a story for another time. The Winans have a song called "Tomorrow". It's about waiting too late. Listen to it when you get a minute.
If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior and you would like to be sure of your eternal place, plus receive the blessing of knowing that you aren't alone and you have someone to fight your battles, pray this sinners prayer with me and accept Christ into your heart. He died for your sins as the eternal sacrifice. Holy is He. Jesus, the Christ.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, I confess that I am a sinner. Please wash away my sins so that I may stand before you with a pure heart. I believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross to save me from the punishment of my sins. I believe that He rose again and sits on the right side of God the father almighty. I thank you that you have the keys to sin and death and so the devil has no more power over my eternity. Father please lead and guide me. Teach me and help me to be the person you want me to be. This I ask in Jesus name. Amen.
