And the last will be first.....

I opened my bible tonight to a passage in Matthew that speaks about the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) It is a parable about a landowner who hired some men to work in his vineyard early in the morning. All throughout the day he hired more and more men to come and work for him. But at the end of the day, they all received the same amount of money. I had read this passage before, and probably listened to a sunday school lesson or sermon on it at some point. But tonight is when it all clicked. Matthew 20:1 says "for the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vineyard...." and goes on from there. I realized the passage is saying that it doesn't matter if you devote your time to God one hundred years before you die or one year before you die, you will receive the same reward in heaven, the reward of eternal life. So go read that passage, and start living for God! Stop procrastinating. He will take you now just as readily as 2 years ago, or 2 years from now. But remember, you don't know how long you have to live. So do it now, and receive the benefits. Thats all. :)
