[Matthew 20:1~16]

God
is the master.
He
works to manage His own household
and in a large house
there are a lot of work and many workers.
Thus
it is appropriate for the workers to be given their wages.
However
God gives grace, and grace is distributed equally.
Though the one who has done more work is not the same
as the one who did less,
the grace of salvation is given equally to all.
However
the reward that each person will receive is different.
The last may become first, and the first, last (Mt 20:16).
Grace we receive on the earth (Ac 2:38)
whereas rewards we will receive in heaven (Php 3:14).
Both the first and the last receive grace equally.
However the rewards given
for the one who worked with all his life (Rev 20:4).
and the one who spared his life will be different.
Everyone enjoys the merits of the Blood,
but each person’s faith of martyrdom will be distinct.
◌ Do not be off your guard
simply because you have received grace,
but receive the love of God.
God will reward each person according to his works.
◌ Fully trust in His grace while you are on the earth.
Receive a crown in heaven.
We give all of our might in order to wear the crown.
◌ Though grace is the merits of the Blood,
the crown refers to each person’s merits.
Let us exert all of our might and receive a crown.
※ Whoever has received grace
must become a servant of heaven.
And a servant must work with all of his life.
God will judge.
