Some may ask what the recent revival craze and false prophets may have in common. Matthew 24:5, “For many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.” This is very similar to the Jeremiah 14:14 verse. there is an old saying from the sixteenth century, “If it sounds too good to be true, it’s too good to be true” implies that we need to carefully examine what we hear and I would add from whom we hear it. Accepting our Creator should be a life changing decision and not one made on impulse or to follow along with the crowd.
“There is a quote that says: you do not know true pain until you crave the conversation with someone, who is no longer with us in this life” –
With this in mind today/this moment; phone that family member, friend or neighbour and make peace, even if it was not your fault that started the conflict of interest. Afterall, Yeshua said: “Leave your offering at the altar and go make peace with your brother and then come to make the offering” (Matthew 5:24) Follow Yeshua’s example and be blessed!
Question 270: In The Parable Of The Labourers, What Is The Principle Taught?
Answer:
This parable in Matthew 20:1-16 stands in close connection with the preceding chapter and its evident purpose was to illustrate the sentiment of the closing verse: "Many that are first shall be last and the last shall be first" The parable has reference to rewards and illustrates the method of their bestowment upon the followers of Moshiach namely, in such a way that the last shall be equal to the first and the first last - a way that rewards faithfulness of service, rather than length of service or the amount accomplished in the service. The purpose of the parable, being understood, it cannot properly awaken any question as to discrimination in the matter of the pay of the labourers. As to the transaction of the householder, as represented in the parable, there was no injustice in it He agreed with the first labourers for "a penny a day," while with the others no specified amount was agreed upon and he could pay them what he pleased. Further, the Saviour does not necessarily approve the course of the householder and we are not required to show that it was either right or wise, as an act of man toward men, but only that rewards in the Kingdom of YHVH are thus bestowed without reference to the time of service, another and very different consideration actuating our Heavenly Father in this matter - namely, faithfulness. The parable was an answer to Peter's question (Matthew 19:27), "Behold, we have forsaken all and followed thee: what shall we have therefore?" In a word, it was a rebuke of the bargaining spirit. Those who follow Moshiach for the sake of the reward and not from love of him, will not be defrauded. They will have all that YHVH has promised them, but they are not those whom he most loves. A parent who promises a child a reward for a certain service or for good behaviour and notices that the child performs the task or behaves himself better than at other times, when no reward is promised, does not approve of the child's spirit He does not like to see the child doing for money the thing that he does not do for love, as he ought to do. Still, he keeps his promise and pays, as he agreed. But the child who does cheerfully and readily, as the parent requests, without any promise of reward, is the one whom the parent approves. That child would surely be rewarded, though no reward had been promised. The householder in the parable makes his bargain with the first party of labourers. The phrase, "when he had agreed with them," clearly implies negotiation. With the others he made no bargain, merely giving his promise to pay whatsoever was right they trusted him and went to work. He liked the confidence they showed and he gave them more than they expected. The early morning labourers had no just ground of complaint They received all they had stipulated for. All through Moshiach's ministry He showed the same Spirit. He craved personal love and confidence. He wanted people above all things, to trust in Him. Peter's question must have chilled Moshiach's Spirit. It might have been interpreted as showing that this man who Moshiach supposed was following Him for love, was there for what he could make out of it. Hence, the rebuke of the parable.
Question 269: What Is The Parable Of Labourers Intended To Teach? Matthew 20:1-6
Answer:
There has probably, been more difference in explaining this parable than any other. To us it appears that the incidents of it are not intended as laying down a business principle, but as a commentary of the events in the preceding chapter. Peter had asked, "What shall we have, therefore?" showing a bargaining spirit. Moshiach shows him by this parable that, not they who stipulate for reward, but they who trust in YHVH, leaving their reward for Him to fix are treated best. That was a prominent characteristic of Moshiach. He craved personal trust and personal faith in Himself. Where does the injustice of the householder come in? He kept his agreement with the early labourers, who had stipulated for a penny a day. They had the amount they had demanded and had no grievance. The householder chose to deal more liberally with the others, who had left their remuneration to him, but that was in no sense a wrong to the early labourers. If an employer knows something about one of his employees - perhaps that he has been sick or that he has a large family - and chooses to give him a double wage, is he bound to go all round his factory and double the wages of every man in his employ? It is the hireling spirit, the spirit of the man who bargains, who resents the kindness done to another as a wrong to himself, that Moshiach reproves here. He condemns it, as he condemned the elder brother in the parable of the Prodigal Son, who resented the feast to the prodigal and reminded the father of his own claims. Many of the first (not all) shall be last because of the spirit in which they have performed their work.
