Fair Enough


Consider Christ’s parable of the workers in the vineyard. The landowner hired workers in the early morning, in the middle of the day, and at the last hour. 

 

Matthew 20:9-10 (MEV)
When they who were hired about the eleventh hour came, they each received a denarius. 

But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more, but each of them likewise received a denarius. 

“It’s not fair,” the first-comers complained. 

God rewards late-comers with the same salvation as early believers. I accepted Christ as a child. I’m an early-comer. And I’m not complaining. 

Fair enough, Lord. It’s all good.
