Answer when GOD calls

During Bible Study: Matthew 20:16 "So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen."

In other words, everyone finishes in a dead heat. Tied.

No matter how long each of the workers worked, they each received a full day’s wage. 

Similarly, the thief on the cross will enjoy the full blessings of heaven alongside those who have labored their whole lives for Christ. 

Such is the grace of God.

The kingdom of heaven spoken of in verse one is the church of Jesus Christ. His followers and workers are the workers in this story. 

The true story behind all of this is no matter whether you are saved at a very tender age and work all your life for God; 

or whether you are saved on your death bed, the pay is the same (eternal life in heaven with Jesus).

There is no work that we can do to pay for salvation; it is by grace through faith that we inherit eternal life. 

We have no right to question the wages He pays. 

When Jesus worked six hours on the cross (because of His love for each of us), our salvation was paid for in full.

I have been telling you the spiritual meaning of this parable that Jesus had given. There is a physical side, as well. 

If we make a deal to work for a certain amount, we have no right to question the pay of another, even though it is much more than we agreed for. 

When we make a deal, we must stick by it, whatever happens.

If, through kindness of the boss, he pays someone else as much as he does us for a lesser amount of time, it is none of our business. 

He paid us what he agreed to. We can ask no more. What he pays someone else is his business. It is his money. He can do with it whatever he wishes.

You see, each answered the call that God had on his life the best he could. Few chose to accept salvation.

The main thing is not just to be called, but to answer, here am I Lord, send me, and then be chosen of God. Hallelujah!
