       For our next hard saying from our Lord Jesus, turn or tap one chapter over, to Matthew 20. Let’s go to verse 12, and pick up at the end of the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard. I believe this passage comes at an interesting time here for us because we just talked about storing up for ourselves treasures in Heaven. And, at first appearance, this parable would seem to indicate that people who start later will get the same thing as those who started earlier. Nevertheless, Jesus in this parable is not talking about rewards we, as believers, will get in Heaven when we die. What this parable is talking about is the salvation that is given to all who accept it through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. In the parable, the master of the house represents Jesus. The idea here is that people who are saved early in their lives will get the same thing, that is, salvation, as those who are saved late in their lives.
