Matthew 20:1-16
What kind of reward will we receive in heaven? Before we talk about reward in heaven, we have to know we are called to amazing grace. Unless God called us, we would do nothing. But, in vineyard, we can play a role as a worker. Calling is incomparable grace.
Although the first and the last have the same wages, the reason why the first is blessed is at least they don't waste life. The unemployed have been suffering from no grace whether they are aware of it or not. It is more valuable to work for God than to lead a fast life.
Matthew 20:17-28
Jesus' disciples had much concern on authority as a reward for following Jesus. Some disciples rallied even their mother for the reward. But Jesus told them again about totally different principle from the world. As Jesus came for death and sacrifice, his disciples also have to live not for themselves but for others. When they achieve this kind of purpose, they will be praised. The best reward for Christian life is to resemble Jesus closely.
Matthew 20:29-34
While Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, two blind men came to him. The crowd didn't let them approach to him. But Jesus never ignored them because he came for these little people. People who didn't understand Jesus' purpose detained them not to interrupt Jesus' way. Because they were ignorant with Jesus' cross, they had much concern on their glory instead of serving people and God's glory. Seek for knowing God's will as left behind my desire.
