Matthew
20:7 KJV
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto
them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye
receive.
There is a principle in this kingdom of heaven parable
that applies in all cases with the Lord; He gives whatsoever is right - and
more.
Those hired in the
earlier part of the day are the Jews.
God's plan is to fulfill all of His promises to them as He
made them. They shall receive whatsoever is right. When all is finished the
Jews as a people will worship God as the One who fulfilled His promises to them
completely.
Those hired in the
eleventh hour represent Gentiles.
Though originally viewed as being a long away from God,
they come to Christ, perhaps in their case, during the Tribulation, and will
discover that God does in their case just as He does for the Jews; He fulfills
His promise. They receive whatsoever is right and they receive so much more
than they deserve.
Regardless of our own circumstances, when we follow the
Lord we may trust Him for whatsoever is right and even better. God doesn't
short change anyone. God gives us much better than we deserve, in this life and
so much more in the next.
