New Testament: Matt 20.8

To read the Bible in a year, read Matthew 20.1–16 on January 29, In the year of our Lord Christ 2025

By Don Ruhl 

Jesus gave a parable on the kingdom of heaven in which he likened it to a landowner who hired laborers at different times of the day, yet, he paid them all the same. 

The time arrived to pay the workers: “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’” (Matthew 20.8). 

You have labored in the kingdom and the Lord knows what you have done. At the right time, he will compensate you for what you have done. May you be pleased with what he gives you. 

Questions: 

• How many servants of God have gone on before us? 
• Are you doing all that you are capable of doing for the kingdom of heaven?
