The Laborers In The Vineyard

WE RECEIVE BY HIS GRACE WHAT WE DO NOT DESERVE We have no chance if we come before His throne demanding what we think is right and what we think He might owe to us. For we deserve nothing, but if we admit this and come on the basis of His grace we receive everything.

God So Loved the WORLD

This means that all people are saved by grace through faith, regardless of ethnicity, gender, nationality, language, cultural heritage, profession, church affiliation, or any other man made division. In the Old Testament the Lord commanded the Israelites to wipe out the Canaanites, and yet even then those Canaanites who repented were saved and those Israelites who did not believe were condemned. So also Jesus condemns the Israelites because of their unbelief andwickedness but saves this repentant Canaanite woman by Grace through faith. For with the Lord there is no partiality.

The Parable of the Wheat and the Weeds

THE LORD PRESERVES HIS CHURCH DESPITE MAN’S SIN Are you surprised that there are weeds in your garden? Of course not. In the same way we should not be surprised that there is sin and unbelief even in the church. Jesus sows what is good, but satan sows what is bad. Instead of being offended that there is sin in the church, we should be thankful that our sins are forgiven in Jesus. Instead of relying on human organizations which will fail, we should rely on Christ who will not.
