[00:01] vineyard workers, this Sunday's gospel, Matthew 20:1-16. This parable of the worker on the vineyard is about the master hiring people in the morning, then hired some more people around noon time, then hired
[00:17] some more people about an hour in the afternoon before the work day ends. And then when receiving the payment for the day's work, those people who were hired in the morning and at noon time and at the end of the day got paid the
[00:32] >> So, the workers who came earlier complained why they get paid the same way as the people who were hired about an hour before the end of the day's work. My reflection number one, it is never
[00:46] too late for a person to be called by God. You might be called by God at an early age or in your middle age or in your old age. God is sovereign and we should let God be God. The scripture says God's ways are far above man's
[01:01] ways. As high as the heaven is above the earth, so is God's way higher than our way. Lesson number two, do not compare yourself to another. Do not be jealous >> [music] >> even when it seems unfair. God's rules
[01:16] do not follow human rules. Lesson number three, God is infinite. He is not limited. So, his [music] generosity and grace is infinite. He has no reason to There is no limit to his [music] infinite abundance of supply, infinite
[01:32] mercy and love, infinite mercy and love, infinite provision. The limit of what a man receive is just man's finite and limited understanding of what he can receive from God. The man who got paid a day's wage for a
[01:46] whole day of work believed in the morning that that is what he is worth. So, that was what he expected to receive in the morning as he agreed to work. At the end of the day he realized that the master is willing and able to give more.
[02:03] If you connect this to the parable of the prodigal son, you will learn that the father, which represents God, says, "Son, all that I have is yours." There is no limit to the abundant life that Jesus says he came here for. That
[02:17] includes spiritual life, emotional life, intellectual and physical life. As Jesus showed us by the way he treated all that came near and touched him. If you feel blessed by this video, share it with others. Be a source of
