Matthew 20:1-16 (Amplified Bible) is the parable of the man who hired workers for his vineyard. He told the men he hired first thing in the morning that he would pay them a denarius for the day's work. A few hours later the owner went out and hired a few more workers. Hours later, again he went and hired more workers til finally the last people he hired only had to work one hour before the work day was finished.
I thought at work today that this parable meant that no matter when you came to the Lord, either early in life or late in life, the gifts to all who come to Him are the same.
But maybe not...maybe that's not what Jesus meant when He said those that are first will be last and those that are last will be first. For many are called, but few chosen.
Who knows?
