The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard...?

Question

Could you write a little comment on this parable?

Matthew 20: 1"For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard. 2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3"About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' 5So they went. "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. 6About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?' 7" 'Because no one has hired us,' they answered. "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.' 8"When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'

Matthew 20:9"The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.' 13"But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? 14Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?' 16"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

cool


First of all before we start you may want to look at this;
http://www.av1611.org/kjv/counterfeit.html
that book you got this from say generous is the one who gave the wages
But the Bible says Good! This is important to the open of the parable alining the one who gave the wages with God as the scriptures tell us:
Matthew 1:23Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
First the components of the Parable
Lord of the vineyard=God
Steward=Jesus
vineyard=world
marketplace=church Matthew 9:38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Labourers=ministers of the God first Jews than the Gentiles
Wage=Eternal life
Hours=The time line--Think likewise; 6 am to 6pm it would be dark after 6pm so no man could work in the dark
Really Quick it is like this:
Those who were in the hours before the eleventh hours are the Jews
Those who were in the hours after the eleventh hours are the Gentiles
This is about the Grace of God, grace giving to the gentiles without the works of the Law but by faith:
Romans 4:16Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Grace allowed the promise to be giving to not only them who worked by the law or in this parable by deal give in the hours be for the eleventh......The promise is the wage which is also eternal life giving by Faith through Grace to all those who believed

Answer 2

The parable refers to the 'work' that Jesus asked us to do. He was the example for us to follow. Jesus preached the "Kingdom" of Matthew 6; 9,10, the one we pray for [ the Lord's prayer] .
(James 2:17-18) Thus, too, faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself. 18 Nevertheless, a certain one will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith apart from the works, and I shall show you my faith by my works.”



(James 2:21-22) Was not Abraham our father declared righteous by works after he had offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 You behold that [his] faith worked along with his works and by [his] works [his] faith was perfected,



(James 2:26) Indeed, as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

The reason that short serving ones get the same 'pay' as those who served a long time is a loving provision by God that those who start to properly obey his Son, Jesus, even at a late date, will receive the same benefit as those who have served 20,30 0r more years.
It is only those ones who are still serving faithfully when Armageddon occurs, that will get the benefits of the promised Kingdom. Long serving ones must be careful that they remain faithful right up to the end.
The 'work' cannot be just left to the 'clergy' or religious leaders alone.
This means that honest hearted ones will search for the truth. And only one religion has it. The one obeying Matthew 24;14.

bear in mind, it quite is a parable so possessions are not earthly possessions yet non secular ones. each and each is given a non secular present and it quite is as much as each and all the staff to boost on their presents or a minimum of carry onto the only they have. it quite is like the myth of the stable Semaritan. The Semaritan is Jesus and the lone guy is anybody in choose of non secular help. The Semaritan then places the care of the guy to the housekeeper and housekeepers are followers of Jesus who shop a watch on the spiritually ill. and added, this additionally connects to the myth of those in cost in taking care of their masters residing house, to observe over issues jointly as their grasp is away; That grasp of course is Jesus. see you later tale short, connect the terminology mutually and seem for what's being defined. it quite is like Lazarus and the rich guy. Jesus represents Lazarus and the rich adult adult males are the Pharisee's therapy in the direction of Jesus (they gained't even believe whether they see him strengthen from the ineffective.) Do you believe it rather is putting forward how rich individuals are evil? What does it advise by potential of possessions and being rich? Being rich in our very own eyes, which potential we believe we are spiritually clever or rich in our very own opinion might make us seem very damaging in God's eyes. Now what did the Pharisee's do? They seen themselves to be clever and extremely non secular adult adult males so as that they believed that they have got been rich of their very own eyes. that's what's meant by potential of richness and possessions. actual richness is admitting that each and one and all actual abilities or non secular presents are given to us by potential of God and this might in easy terms take place to the spiritually discerning or humble ones. desire that facilitates.
