Bible Question:
what does it mean ???? He who comes first shall come last and he who comes last shall come first. |
Bible Answer: Jesus spoke these words in the Matthew 20 as the moral of the parable of the workers in the field. Jesus is speaking of the generosity of God toward those who are called to serve God later (i.e. "those who do not work in the field as long"). In the parable, all get the same reward, no matter when they were called into the field. This could be referring to those who come into a relationship later in life, or he also could be comparing the Jewish people (who were God's first chosen) to the Gentiles (who are brought into the kingdom "A.D."). In any case, God's grace is shown to all, and he will be generous as he wills to do so. |
