Matthew 20:1-16 For the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is an householder… I. The ordinary walks of life are as a market-place to men whose highest aim is to buy and sell and get gain. II. Outside this market-place is a vineyard, which the great Owner of the world and Proprietor of human life would have cultivated. III. All hiring, and looking out for hire, is but a profitless idling till the Master calls to a higher work. IV. Call a man to labour when He will, He will give what He pleases of His own at the end of life's day. (J. C. Gray.) Parallel Verses KJV: For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. |
