Matthew 20:13 (KJV) The Answer to Mankind's Problems

Matthew 20:13 (KJV)

But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?

 

The two great questions of humanity are:

·       Does God exist?

·       Who is God?

 

And from them I derive these two resolutions to all the problems of mankind:

·       God is

·       He is God

 

God is

This is accepted by most of mankind throughout all of history: God is. We know it. It is not so much an instinct as it is a lesson passed down from generation to generation all the way back to Adam and Eve. Due to the corrupt nature of man, the truths about God have become perverted in most cases. The fact that all men know God is remains true. Even among atheists, the fact is they are not atheists but agnostics because the best they can do is say we cannot prove God is. They don’t know one way or the other. I think it is why they get so angry with us. How can we claim to know what they are so sure cannot be known? We who know God, know Him to be Jesus, our Savior.

 

He is God

So many of those who claim belief in a god live practically as if there is no God. Most of humanity does not deny His existence; they just doubt His authority. A god who has no authority is no God. So, they go about worshiping Him in all sorts of twisted, perverted, and errant ways. They know He is. They need His help. They just believe they get to choose that help.


So, the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of this vineyard. He is—the laborers do not deny it. He hires them—the laborers are agreeable to it. But at the end of the day, they believe they have the right to argue His goodness. They judge Him.

 

All the problems of mankind, the disagreements between us, the crime and corruption, and the differences of philosophies, would be resolved if only we would surrender to these two truths:

·       God is.

·       He is God.
