What if the Master of the universe came looking for you before dawn, while you still stood idle in the marketplace of life?
Matthew 20:1-3
The moment
In the Gospel, the vineyard owner goes out early to hire workers, agreeing on a fair wage. He finds others standing idle and sends them into his vineyard too.
Matthew 20:1-3
Where it points
This echoes Abraham, who offered his beloved son Isaac, carrying the wood for the sacrifice. God provided a ram instead, foreshadowing how He would give His only Son, who carried His own cross.
Genesis 22:1-14 · John 3:16 · John 19:17
For today
Today, know that God calls you not because you're worthy, but because He's generous. Answer His call, and trust His ways, which are higher than yours.
Isaiah 55:8-9
