13 But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius? 14 Take what belongs to you, and go•; I choose to give to this last as •I give to you. 15 Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ 16 So the last will be first, and the first last.” (Matthew 20:13–16, RSV2CE)
God says we will get heaven if we believe and follow. Some will get into heaven we don’t think should be there. Are we going to begrudge Jesus for saving those we don’t like? He came to save all. For the sake of His sorrowful passion we should hope all men get saved, the price He paid was His own Blood. Why should the devil win any souls?? If you do have a grudge because you worked hard to stay close you may be last because those who are so grateful to have made it will be happy and first without grudges.
(Jonah cut himself off from God because he didn’t want him to save his enemies)
Help me Jesus want all to be saved. Help me Jesus love all men. I don’t know what that means except to believe you when you say love your neighbor as you love yourself. I want a lot and the best for myself. I am to want the same for all other men. Help me be willing to love all for your sake.
