Pictures of the Kingdom: The Vineyard Workers
- Matthew 20:1-16
- Jeff Coleman
The kingdom of God does not operate like the kingdoms of this world. In the Parable of the Vineyard Workers, Jesus reveals a God whose grace is extravagant, generous, and available to everyone.
This message reminds us that our value is not determined by our productivity, accomplishments, or how long we have followed Jesus. Our worth is found in the love of God and the finished work of Christ. The invitation of the kingdom is to receive God's grace with gratitude and then join Him in the work He is doing in the world. There is a place for everyone in His vineyard, and there is always more work to do in sharing His love with others.
