On earth as it is in Heaven
Matthew 20:1-16
For the Kingdom of Heaven
is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for His Vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into His Vineyard.
3 “About nine in the morning
he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.’ 5 So they went.
“He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon
and did the same thing.
6 About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others
standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’
7 “‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered.
“He said to them,
‘You also go and work in my vineyard.’
8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman,
‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.’
9 “The workers who were hired about five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 ‘These who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.’
13 “But He answered one of them,
‘I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?’
16 “So the last will be first, and the first will be last.”
This is a great story for Sunday School children! And old, very old, Disney movies. Not so much for people who have bills, and orthodontia young people and education needs. People with healthcare bills from the ones they care for and love.
What
Is the Lord God Almighty doing here?
A Mighty Work
Displaying
on earth as in Heaven
Revelation 1:1
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His Servant John
Psalm 31:19
Oh, how abundant is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You and worked for those who take refuge in You, in the sight of the children of mankind!
Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My House. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
John 3:16-17
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him."
Philippians 4:19
And my God will supply every need of yours according to His Riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Job 38:22-24
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I reserve for times of trouble,
for days of war and battle?
24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,
or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
Lightning, science discovered through military science is the product of
sun flairs. What we see in our skies is the electricity passing through space and slowing as our atmospheres, plural, absorb His Light.
This is the story of
our church friend
Bob
Bob was older than we are
and retired to his beloved hometown, blissfully.
Bob then met a drunk driver
and
entered Heaven
Triumphant.
Bob's story is one of Success.
Bob successfully married the woman he loved, so smart, she would hold them together, hold up her career and they were made. And had 2 brilliant little boys who were not only brilliant, but had their mother's beautiful looks. And the days came and went. Just the same. And again. Then some more bills. More needs. And one day told its tale to the next. Bob received a Christmas gift of a Musketeer purple hat with a great purple feather for being such a trooper.
An office party was a Disco party. Bob came to find out dancing, drinking, he loved the night life. His purple hat and purple feather was a draw. And what a draw it was.
Fast forward. A change of career to pay bills was needed after the divorce. And the next wife. A daughter. Back to the Night Life. Much more thrilling. Change states, skip child support. Now a Barber. New wife, still with the Night Life. New 2nd daughter. Ugh such a drag. Divorce. Change States. New Career.
The New Career pays off. All he hoped was beginning to arrive. He had arrived. Sons out of college, by their dear mom. No need for further contact they say. 2nd and 3rd wife. Not eager to ever see him again. New Career. No ties. No childhood seen as his children grew up. So ... empty. Now too old to be in the Club. And see all the scenes he knew so well, empty, the repeats.
Maybe. Church. Yes. This is the empty hole he found filled.
Accepting the Love of God he can feel.
The Love of God filling him. Still tentatively on his part. And a few years moved by. Met an English Professor with the most beautiful eyes. A Christian. And they marry saying they will bring their children together and help them in life and to be a family.
And they start with the eldest. Now, a dentist. Make an appointment for two.
Told to get out and not try again. His brother the same. Extremely committed to slamming the door shut. Try with the eldest daughter. In a cult on the west coast. Not interested. But the door doesn't slam ... shut.
The youngest daughter believes she sees the Light in this new couple. And as they reconnect, his 3rd wife has died.
Bob and his lovely Christian wife set about visiting very regularly. They see to this reconciliation with all their hearts. Arrive at the airport, rental car, grocery store, flowers. Set the table at their daughter's house. Make a great meal. Greet daughter after her week's work is complete. Have a lovely vacation. There for their daughter and grandson. And this reconciliation is very solid. His bad behavior is understood, forgiven. New life has begun. Years begin to go by.
So much so, the doorbell rings on Friday, late evening, and the Extremely Angry, Oldest Daughter has arrived to put this relationship on fire. Bob and his beautiful wife said it was like the forces of darkness had arrived. His wife takes the youngest and mature relationship daughter off for a private conversation and explains this is the force of darkness and possibly, just possibly, very, very large doses of narcotics.
Back in the dining room, Beautiful Christian Wife says to oldest, messy, daughter, we call her "Debbie", we are so glad you are here, we are about to have dessert, let's pray. "Lord God, in the name of JESUS, we thank You, Jesus, You are here. We celebrate Jesus and the opportunity to have Pie with the family. And Jesus. So we gather in the Name of Jesus. And have pie. Amen."
Younger daughter says to the prayed for daughter. "So glad you are here, you can have my son's bedroom he is going to bunk with me. Here is your pie. Would you like a cup of coffee?"
And in the course of time,
the messy daughter leaves the cult, and actually begins to like the younger daughter she had blamed for her father leaving the second family set for decades. And they all go to the West Coast to visit the one who is more emotional and are inclusive.
As they retired back to the town with the youngest daughter, the older daughter is invited to join them.
This is the earthly version of
Matthew 20:1-16
And possibly
explains
why
Paul writes with the Holy Spirit
there are
Seven Layers of Heaven
and
12 Open Gates
always in the
Light
God is our Father.
He seeks us and sees the best of our hearts and souls. His Love reaches past the Heavens and beyond where Lightning begins.
As adults, we wonder if people can change. Scriptures assures us this is so.
Another Scripture this fills very well: The Meek Inherit the earth. And is brought about by remorse, confession, apology, lives change to the apology, and the love abounds, abundantly. This is the Method of God in His Kingdom.
John 5:17
Jesus answered them,
“My Father is working until now,
and
I am working.”

Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all offenses.
Ephesians 4:2
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in Love
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for
His friends.
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Let the circle be unbroken
Psalm 31:19
Oh, how abundant is Your goodness, which You have stored up for those who fear You and worked for those who take refuge in You, in the sight of the children of mankind!
Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in My House. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of Heaven for you and
pour down for you a blessing
until
there is no more need.
If we name another unconditional love source
That is Pro Life

Never whitewash truth
Never rebuke and leave feeling worthless, any child (of any age) created by God
Determined to make all life meaningful and bloom

all these things will be added to you.

We can do absolutely nothing about Massachusetts killing babies. Shake our heads at the horror of babies murdered. We can moan and cry and do absolutely nothing. And those babies will die badly.
Or we can find life and grace. Blessing the great and grand and parents to find Love has made a path straight forward.
Pray and make a path for these preborn children to LIVE.
Life for preborn children. Human Beings. Babies. Hoping for love and warmth to give and receive. So many willing hearts and homes. Valid Adoption Agencies. Hope for the biological mother, instead of a life of sadness.
