What's up everybody I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and we are inching

our way through the book of Matthew one little chunk of time every weekday morning

right now.

We've been inching our way through the first part of Matthew 20 and this I think really

deep water very important parable about this landowner who goes out and hires a bunch

people to work than his vineyard over the course of the day and he makes a deal with people

at the break of day and it's like I'm going to pay you a day's wage come work for me

but then he keeps hiring people like nine noon three and then with an hour left to go

at five he keeps hiring people in the end he pays them all the exact same full days wage

and because you understand human nature the people who were there first like I don't

think I go to deal and they're kind of grippy about it but then the landowner pulls

them aside calls them friend after they gripe at him is like hey it's my money you got

exactly what we contracted for and if I want to be generous to these other people don't

I have the right to do what I want with my resources or is there something wrong with

you or you be an envious and then the parable wraps up with Jesus offering this concluding

thought he says so the last will be first and the first will be last but that dynamic

there that we talked about a whole bunch yesterday of the landowner talking with the

people he's employed earliest in the day and calling them friend and laying out his motivations

and telling him like I set this aside for you and I did exactly what I said I would do I followed

through on that but look if generosity is who I am and I'm going to be generous you got to roll

with me on that maybe even participate in that don't be envious again that's a lot of paraphrase

of what I just told you but that dynamic that we're talking about there surely for a lot of you
