Kingdom Economics: Laborer's in the Vineyard (PART 5 of 5)
What does true fairness look like through God's eyes? Join us as we dive deep into the parable of the vineyard workers, where those hired at different times all received the same wage. This seemingly unfair situation reveals profound truths about salvation, grace, and divine justice.
We explore Jesus' powerful response to accusations of unfairness: "Is your eye evil because I am good?" This question turns the mirror back on us, challenging our human understanding of justice and revealing our dependency on God's sovereign goodness. Despite tragedy, suffering, or confusion in our world, we can trust that God remains eternally good.
The conversation reveals how the equal wage represents salvation itself - Christ's blood shed for all believers regardless of when they came to faith or how many sins they've committed. One participant beautifully observes, "His one death, his one burial, his one resurrection was enough to justify 10,000 worlds." The immensity of this sacrifice transcends human calculations of worthiness.
We also tackle the challenging question of why believers continue asking for forgiveness when Christ has already forgiven all sins - past, present, and future. Is this doubt or simply acknowledgment of our ongoing need for grace? The discussion provides thoughtful perspectives that will enrich your understanding of confession and relationship with God.
Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of staying teachable, bearing one another's burdens, and finding fellowship with other believers in a world where Christians often feel isolated. Join us for this enriching conversation that will deepen your faith and challenge your perspective on God's goodness and grace.

you know what I mean.
Speaker 2:It's undeniably loved yep, I mean, and it's in this and it's cool because you know, we all, we all, we love god, we love the lord. But what happened is there's a spirit that that is so pervasive in the world where all like even the social media especially you get people that all they want to do is be right, or all they want to do is be right, or all they want to do is fight. They don't want to come and try to like really like sort things out and they hate to be disagreed with. You know what I mean and you know, and even in this setting, like you know, there's a couple of times where you know I can come in here and do live, but does that mean I can't be wrong? No, I can be wrong. I was wrong tonight. You know what I mean, so it happens. But that's why we're, that's why we fellowship. You got to stay learned.
Speaker 1:You got to stay teachable, yeah.
Speaker 3:And that's how it was. And that's how it was at the beginning, when the church first started. It was believers just getting together and bearing each other. And, by the way, do you need any prayer, because you said that you're kind of going through some times. If you want to, I'll pray for you.
Speaker 2:Man. I tell you what. Here's what. I'm going to hold you to that so soon we finish these last couple of verses. I want to do that because I do need it. And, believe me, I can tell you this I'm not one of those kind of people that, whatever I'm going through, you're gonna see on my face Because, just like when you fast, you're not supposed to be looking like all weak. You know what I mean and you're supposed to show the glory of God at all times, because it shows that we trust him. And so I tell you right now, brother, you are never gonna get me turning down a prayer from anybody. That's never going to happen. So hold on to that, because I'm going to hold you to that. And I'll go quickly to the last verse, because there's one big point that I want to bring out that I think you guys are going to like, if you don't already know it. So it's so.
Speaker 2:Now we have verse 15, where he said isn't it lawful for me to do what I will with my own? And then he says is your eye evil? Because I'm good. And so this is the Lord's reply to those who would say that God is unfair. His response is is your eye evil because I'm good? There is no scenario, there is absolutely no scenario where God is not good ever, ever, no matter what we see around.
Speaker 2:People will say, well, what about people getting cancer? What about people that have this? What about the babies that you know, that that are aborted? What about? All I know is this god is always good. We may not understand, we may not see the ins and outs, but what I do know, even when it comes to the death that's all around us. The reason why I'm not freaking out and saying God is not good because of allowing children to die and whatever, because I know that he has the power to raise the dead. I don't, we don't have anything to fear if we are dealing with the one who has the power to raise the dead. If, if, some, if, if I don't care how many tragedies that happen, how many people that die in number in the highest number of tragedy is terrible, it is is evil in the world, but we have a relationship with the one who raises the dead and that is what paul meant when he says I want to understand him and I want to understand the power of his. What anybody remember? The power of his resurrection.
Speaker 1:I think he's showing us, our nature, our sin nature and our dependency upon him.
Speaker 2:Yep, so we? We think he's being unfair. This is what he would say to us Is your eye evil Because I'm good? It's like I'm not the problem, you're the problem.
Speaker 1:Yep, you know, showing us our sinful nature and our dependency upon him.
Speaker 2:So then he closes up by saying so the last shall be first and the first shall be last. Many called, but few chosen. Now, now, this is a passage. I don't understand how people miss it, I just don't, and sometimes it's so far out there you can't even get people to to grasp it, the latter part of this especially. First of all, he says that many are called, many, many are called, and so he's not saying all are called. He specifically says many are called and then he says few are chosen. So from among the many, which is not the all, but from among the many, he chose a few and he's letting us know that there's a few people by comparison to those who are saved and who believe. Like my brother says, here the gospel is preached indiscriminately it is. Like my brother says, here the gospel is preached indiscriminately, it is. But there's a difference between the call that goes out indiscriminately to the world and the inward call that converts to the saving of the soul.
Speaker 2:That's the effectual call that grips us, when the Holy Spirit comes and says now is your time, now is your time. Now. Here's the last point that I wanted to make, and then I'm going to give everybody their last word. This is where I have Todd to give me that prayer that I'm anxious to get, the last thing. So we've been looking at the householder giving everyone who was in the marketplace who wanted to work, to come into his, his, his vineyard and work, and he paid them and he gave them all the same ways. So the question is this what does the wage that he gave represent? What is, what does the wage that the householder paid? Because he gave everybody the same wage, regardless of what time they came in to the, to the vineyard, he gave them all the same wage. So what? What is the wage?
Speaker 2:Eternal life, salvation, salvation, eternal life. And here's the beauty of this. My sister said it. I think it's my sister, nava Nava, nava Nava Got it right it's salvation, but for the price on it it's the blood of Jesus Christ. Now here's the thing. Let's say we go back to the scenario where I said earlier somebody's been saved for five years and they pass away. Somebody's been saved for 50 years and they pass away right, they've been saved for 50 years. Does it require more blood of Christ to be shed for the 50 year old, for the person who's been a Christian 50 years, versus the one who's been a Christian five years? Nope, no, his salvation is the same. The blood that jesus christ shed doesn't take into account in the sense of he's like well, I have to distribute more, you know, of my blood for this person versus that person or these people and that people.
Speaker 2:The the same Lord died at Calvary one time. His body was broken, his blood was shed and it was saved. It was saved the souls of everyone that he has chosen to save for everyone. That's powerful, you know. For everyone it's the same. Know for everyone, it's the same that one death provided redemption and satisfied redemption and appeased his father. Didn't matter how much one sinned versus how much another person sinned. If you committed one sin in your entire life and somebody committed a number of sins, that is just unable for the brightest man on life on earth to count. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. That's how immense the quality Of the death of Christ is. His one death, his one death, his one burial, his one resurrection was enough to justify 10,000 worlds.
Speaker 2:But he died to save his elect souls, which I totally believe there is. He says it right here Many called, few chosen, but every single one of those people he will bring home and they will all come out of that vineyard. Some will produce 30 fold fruit, some will produce 60, some a hundred fold, but they will all receive the salvation that Christ promised to give to his people, because he is his father's steward. He came down here and he redeemed us, he saved us and he will bring us home and not one of us will be left behind. And I was in the military, so anybody who's been in the service knows leave nobody behind.
Speaker 2:But there are so many Christians who believe God does that that there are some Christians who can come to him and somehow find a way to drift away from the salvation that they actually have. But Christ told us in John 10, over and over and over again I will not leave one sheep behind, not even one, not one. We know there's a hell. We know that there are many people are going to live in it, but we also know that his sheep hear his voice. He knows them, they know him and the ones who end up getting cast into that lake of fire.
Speaker 2:Jesus tells them before they're cast in there I never knew you. I never knew you. And people can look at that and think it's unfair. All they want to. But his answer will be to them is Is your eye evil? Because I am good? And the answer is yes, your eye is evil If you think he's unfair when he gives justice, because those who are told to like a fire, they are receiving justice exacted perfectly, and that's how he's being glorified and that's what he means in Psalm. But he says even the wrath of man shall praise thee, even the wrath of man.
Speaker 1:I got a question for you. Go ahead, brother. Why do we keep asking God to forgive us?
Speaker 2:We ask God to forgive us because we know when he's already forg forgive us. We ask God to forgive us because we listen, we know when he's already forgave us. He's forgiven us for all of our sin, past, present and future.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's what I'm saying. So, in knowing that, I asked myself yesterday why do I keep? When I fall short, I say Lord, forgive me. I don't know if that's instinctively done, or or or it's just ignorance, because now I'm turning around and saying Father, I thank you for your forgiving me.
Speaker 2:That's a really good way to do it. I thank you for your forgiveness. I thank you for forgiving me, but I think that it's like this Because if I ask God to forgive me, that means I'm doubting him.
Speaker 1:His forgiveness has already shed his blood for me. You understand what I'm trying to get at.
Speaker 2:I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's a bad thing or a wrong thing, and I think the reason why is because we know that we are still sinning. But what's happening is, I think that when we pray, I think that when we ask for forgiveness, it is just us acknowledging, in a lot of ways, when sin is taking place. When we are doing it, we're acknowledging that God's forgiveness is there. Look at it this way. I could ask you the same question. I could ask this question why do we pray? Do we really think we're going to change God's mind about anything? He already knows what we need, right, yeah, before we even ask. So why do we pray? Do we really think we're going to change God's mind about anything? He already knows what we need, right Before we even ask.
Speaker 1:So why do we pray? You got to say you know, lord, let your will be done.
Speaker 2:So so one of the brothers here in communist star time, a guy, a brother I really respect immensely, he says we sorrow at the insufficient honor that he deserves. And I think that there's some truth. There's truth to that because when we sin, it should grieve us that we do. The scripture even tells us that that that we cause, we grieve the Holy Spirit by by our sins sometimes, and that we have to be constantly being convicted of sin. So I think that when we ask forgiveness, we're simply acknowledging that we are aware of the sins that he's forgiven us of.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just look at it like my spirit is already saved, I'm already sitting in heavenly places with him and now I'm dealing with my flesh versus my spirit and it's a constant battle that I battle on a daily basis and I say, lord, you say I'm not perfect and I'm not a sinner, but why do I keep sinning? I'm struggling in the flesh, but I know that I'm saved in my spirit. So there's that confirmation of Paul saying that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spirits, principalities and powers. It's flesh against the spirit.
Speaker 2:You know it's constantly at war with each other. So we had one sister said yeah, we need to confess. Another brother says it's our depravity. Another brother again, star Todd. He says we cannot lift him up high enough. I love that. George says that we are undeserving. Another brother, mac 10, says we are weak. And Navas says the wilderness is sanctification. So put it this way, here's what some people will say. Some people will tell you that it's wrong to ask for forgiveness. I think that's ridiculous. In fact, I think that's kind of stupid to say that. Because I think that's ridiculous. I think it's kind of stupid to say that, yeah, um, because I think that. I think that. See, here's the thing sometimes. Sometimes we forget that god knows our hearts. Yeah, we sin, but we we sin, and that we're always asking for forgiveness. But it's a great thing because we are acknowledging that god is working in us, because it is only him that would make us ask forgiveness. It can never be a sin to ask forgiveness. It can never be a sin to ask forgiveness.
Speaker 1:And so all I keep hearing in my spirit when I say Lord forgive me, says I already did yeah but that's, it. I could be. Can you relate to that though?
Speaker 4:I can. Yeah, Big gravy. Go ahead, brother. Yeah, I could be way out in left field, but this is where I'm at right now. I look at it a little differently than the way you stay, than the way you stay Okay. I look at it like when you obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, he cleanses you from all of your sins that are past up until that point. Then you receive a new life to walk in and he gives you the guidelines, and he gives you also the warnings of the guidelines. For instance work out your own soul salvation with fear and trembling. Take up your own cross, deny yourself, continue in, abide in those types of things, tell me. In other words, I'm the type of person when I see the word if in scripture, I flip flop it.
Speaker 4:And that helps me get a, I feel, get get a deeper understanding of what God is saying when he says, when somebody says I love you Lord.
Speaker 2:And he says if you love me, and so how do you? How do you?
Speaker 4:take that? I think that, if I take that, that true love for God is respecting his word and honoring it in your life.
Speaker 2:But how do you take the? If you brought that up, how do you take?
Speaker 4:it. Yeah, I take the if, like you're proving that you don't love me because you're not doing the things that I told you to do.
Speaker 2:So you take that if as an if of condition right?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's back to that what I was telling you earlier, when I said I look at it from a what do you call it? A covenant type relationship.
Speaker 2:Yeah, see, I look at that different and I'm going to tell you how I look at it. I'll tell you how I look at it, you can tell me what you think, and then you'll see it different when you read it in the scriptures. But at least you'll see what I'm saying and then you can agree or not agree, right? So let's put it this way. Let's say, for example, when the scripture talks about, when Jesus talks about abiding in him, right, you're already in Christ, and he talks about things that that that can happen if you abide in him, right. He goes, he says if you abide in me, dot, dot, dot, if you abide in me.
Speaker 2:A lot of people take that if as a if of condition. But it is not an if of condition. It is as if he is saying because if has a different word, it means differently in most cases than people think it is. It's not an if of condition, it is an if of certainty. In other words, he is saying that when he says if you abide in me, it's the same as saying since you abide in me, these things will happen. In other words, because you do see what, what.
Speaker 4:What cemented in my thinking is not a law, but a principle right and when I hear, uh, when I go back and read, uh, the curses and the, the blessings, if looms very large. If you, if you, if you obedient and respect me and love me, here are your blessings Right. If you don't?
Speaker 4:love me and don't respect me and don't obey me. Here are the curses. And so I see that principle working in the New Testament as well. In the second covenant, when I read things like like even Paul's admonishment to Timothy, he told him to oh, let me get that passage 1, timothy, chapter 4. And of course, you may look at that particular passage different than what. I look at it If I can find it right quick.
Speaker 3:That's 1 Timothy 4?
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's around. I think he's buying Timothy. What is it? Oh, 1 Timothy 4, around verse 14, 15. It's toward the last verse in that chapter where he tells Timothy something to contend for the doctrine them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your ears. It's verses like that, and also 1 Timothy, chapter 4, verse 1.
Speaker 2:Hold on, let me get there. 1 Timothy 4, verse 1. 4 verse 1. Hold on. 1 Timothy. Okay. It says Now the Spirit expressly, or speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
Speaker 4:Yes, so well, in other words, I don't believe you can depart from something if he wasn't truly in something like Israel, right, I agree, I agree with that. Yeah, so, and then there's the. There's the grafting warning. The grafting warning to me that there's consequences. He warns them that you could be grafted out, drafted out. And then I see revelations where it says if you add to the prophecies of this book or you take from the prophecies of this book, god can remove your name from the book of life or the tree of life.
Speaker 4:So it's these kind of things, that kind of make it easy.
Speaker 2:I believe that God in His Word, he uses threatenings to even his people that are not designed to. He uses a lot of threatening, sometimes as a rod to chasten us, to stir us up, I agree, to stir us up into good works.
Speaker 1:Doesn't it say it's impossible for those who once heard the word of God to turn away from it? Those aren't.
Speaker 2:Christians though.
Speaker 4:Well, I disagree with you on that one, because if you look at the very end of that verse, 1 Peter 3, is it 1 Peter 3?
Speaker 2:What are you talking about In Hebrews, or what?
Speaker 4:The one that he was quoting about. What were you quoting, Esco?
Speaker 1:Once you've tasted the good news, it's impossible for those to tell you Hebrew 6. No that's not what.
Speaker 4:I'm looking for. Mine was in Peter. Yeah, about after tasting the goodness of the God's word, or something like that. No that's Hebrew 6, 4 through 6. The dog returning to the vomit and the pig to the oh, yeah, okay, that's different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's different. All right, all right, gents. Well, here's the thing. I'm going to close it up my usual way, by giving everybody a last word. Todd, I want you to go last, if you don't mind. No, so, esco, since there's only three of us here, esco, I'll let you go first. Take a minute. Your last word, whatever it is. It can be 30 seconds, five seconds. Whatever your last word.
Speaker 1:Well, I just want to thank you, brothers, man, for this time I spent with you tonight. I learned a whole lot. I appreciate your time. I love you guys with all my soul. You're the best thing that entered my life on this day and I thank you for it.
Speaker 2:Oh, man, god bless you. Man, I really appreciate that and I appreciate your kind words earlier today, man, I really do.
Speaker 1:And I'll be looking forward to seeing you again.
Speaker 2:Well, you better come up next time, Otherwise we're going to have problems.
Speaker 1:You're making me laugh today.
Speaker 2:Big gravy. What about you, brother? Nothing like doing this, you're making me laugh today.
Speaker 4:Big gravy, take heed to the warnings of God's word. It will make you wiser. And trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding.
Speaker 2:I'll wait for that. That's using all your last words. I love it.
Speaker 4:Indeed.
Speaker 2:Straighten your path. God bless you, man. All right, todd, go ahead, brother.
Speaker 3:Man, I don't have anything profound like those last two there, but I got to tell you I appreciate the time to fellowship with the brothers. You know I didn't hear any sisters tonight, but it's all good and the biggest thing I get out of this is that. You know, the biggest thing I get out of this is that, you know, sometimes you kind of go through life and you kind of like don't think that you kind of feel isolated in a world today filled with non-believers and fallen believers, it's good to come to a place where you're surrounded by believers and there's no judgment, Right, it's just us talking about things and I appreciate you.
Speaker 2:All right, I appreciate it too. Thank you guys for being on here. I really, I really do. You're going to sit there and pray, or, todd? I told you I was going to hold you to it.
Speaker 3:Yes, heavenly father, I just want to thank you for this night. I want to thank Thank you for the fellowship of believers that we have and, most importantly, thank you for the blood of Jesus that was shed for our salvation and that great day of grace that we came to know you, that we are now bond as brothers in the Lord. Thank you so much for that, lord. I pray that if anybody has a need, that they would share that and bring it forth in prayer, and that we would bear each other, bring it forth in prayer, and that we would bear each other's burdens, just as scripture tells us to do so. Lord, I don't know your name.
Speaker 2:Jonathan, jonathan.
Speaker 3:Jonathan. So, lord, I just want to pray over Jonathan, whatever's going on in his business. Lord, I pray. Heavenly father, you are a God of clarity. Please clear and give guidance, guidance and straighten the path that's before him. Give him, bless him, lord, in all that he does, so that he can continue to witness on your behalf in this forum. Thank you, lord, for all that you do, and may everybody who listens to this message and listens to this live be blessed by it. In Yahshua's name, we pray Amen.
Speaker 2:Thank you, man. I really appreciate that, todd, I really do, man you too, jonathan, I appreciate you you're welcome up here, man, anytime.
Speaker 2:I like just cool people that love the word of God. So, and you too, esco, come back please. I will. I'll see you on the next live, brother. I mean I try to do. What I try to do is get on here between 7 and 8 every day. I try to do. I mean what I try to do is get on here between seven and eight every day. I try to, but if I can't, it's because because it's funny every time I try to schedule it, something ruins it, you know. But if I just, but normally, if I just let it happen, it is as consistent as I can ever be.
Speaker 1:So when you send notifications.
Speaker 4:I can't tell you how many times somebody might have said Big Gravy, where did you go?
Speaker 3:Aren't you on the West Coast? Aren't you in California?
Speaker 2:No, that's where I'm from. I was born and raised there, but I live now in Illinois. Oh, okay, okay, what part of Illinois, you know where? St Charles is no.
