| 0:28 | the holy gospel according to matthew the |
| 0:30 | 20th chapter |
| 0:32 | glory to you o lord |
| 0:35 | Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is like |
| 0:37 | a master of a house |
| 0:39 | who went out early in the morning to |
| 0:40 | hire laborers for his vineyard |
| 0:43 | after agreeing with the laborers for a |
| 0:44 | denarius a day he sent them |
| 0:46 | into his vineyard and going out on the |
| 0:49 | about the third hour he saw others |
| 0:51 | standing idle in the marketplace and |
| 0:53 | said to them you go into the vineyard |
| 0:55 | too and whatever is right i will give |
| 0:57 | you so they went |
| 0:59 | going out again about the sixth hour and |
| 1:01 | the ninth hour he did the same |
| 1:02 | and about the 11th hour he went out and |
| 1:04 | found others standing and he said to |
| 1:06 | them |
| 1:06 | why do you stand here idle all day and |
| 1:08 | they said because no one’s hired us he |
| 1:10 | said to them |
| 1:11 | you go into the vineyard too and when |
| 1:13 | the evening came |
| 1:14 | the owner of the vineyard said to his |
| 1:16 | foreman call the laborers and pay them |
| 1:18 | for their wages |
| 1:19 | beginning with the last up to the first |
| 1:21 | and when those hired about the 11th hour |
| 1:23 | came each one of them received a |
| 1:25 | denarius |
| 1:26 | now when those hired first came they |
| 1:29 | thought they would receive |
| 1:30 | more but each of them also received a |
| 1:32 | denarius |
| 1:33 | and on receiving it they grumbled at the |
| 1:35 | master of the house saying |
| 1:36 | these last worked only one hour and you |
| 1:39 | have made us |
| 1:40 | equal have made them equal to us who |
| 1:42 | have borne the burden of the day and the |
| 1:44 | scorching heat |
| 1:46 | but he replied to one of them friend i |
| 1:49 | am doing you no wrong did you not agree |
| 1:51 | with me for a denarius |
| 1:52 | take what belongs to you and go i choose |
| 1:54 | to give to this last worker as i give to |
| 1:57 | you |
| 1:57 | am i not allowed to do what i choose |
| 2:00 | with what belongs to me |
| 2:01 | or do you begrudge my generosity so the |
| 2:04 | last will be first |
| 2:06 | and the first will be last this is the |
| 2:08 | gospel of the lord |
| 2:09 | grace mercy and peace you from god the |
| 2:11 | father son and the holy spirit the |
| 2:13 | blessed trinity you may be seated |
| 2:16 | brothers and sisters we hear these words |
| 2:19 | in our old testament text today |
| 2:22 | god says of himself my thoughts are not |
| 2:24 | your thoughts neither are my ways |
| 2:26 | your ways declares the lord have you |
| 2:29 | considered just |
| 2:30 | how scandalous the gospel |
| 2:34 | is is it any wonder that the apostle |
| 2:36 | paul says to the gospel i am not ashamed |
| 2:39 | of the gospel for it is the power of god |
| 2:42 | unto salvation for all who believe the |
| 2:45 | gospel |
| 2:45 | the good news that Christ has bled and |
| 2:47 | died for our sins |
| 2:49 | now if you’ve ever had conversations |
| 2:51 | with atheists |
| 2:52 | or maybe today’s modern manifestation of |
| 2:55 | social justice warriors |
| 2:57 | have you noticed that social justice |
| 2:58 | warriors have no concept of |
| 3:00 | reconciliation |
| 3:02 | or mercy or grace |
| 3:05 | or forgiveness in fact they’re |
| 3:06 | scandalized by the thought |
| 3:08 | if you have a conversation with an |
| 3:10 | atheist |
| 3:11 | about what Christ has done for us on the |
| 3:14 | cross |
| 3:15 | they might protest and you may have had |
| 3:18 | conversations with people who’ve |
| 3:19 | protested this way |
| 3:20 | are you saying that if hitler |
| 3:25 | confessed his sins and was forgiven on |
| 3:27 | his deathbed that hitler |
| 3:29 | is in heaven rather than hell |
| 3:32 | and they’re scandalized by the whole |
| 3:33 | thought of it could you imagine |
| 3:35 | Jesus forgiving hitler oh i hate that |
| 3:39 | idea |
| 3:40 | i refuse to believe in a god who would |
| 3:42 | forgive hitler |
| 3:47 | and the problem is is that people think |
| 3:49 | they’re basically good |
| 3:51 | you know and not recognizing that the |
| 3:54 | sins that they’ve committed |
| 3:56 | well they rank up there with hitler if |
| 3:59 | you remember the |
| 4:00 | gospel text last week the guy the fellow |
| 4:03 | who |
| 4:04 | well racked up a bazillion dollar debt |
| 4:08 | that’s you that’s me |
| 4:11 | each and every one of us have |
| 4:13 | transgressed god’s holy |
| 4:14 | law so severely that that is the debt |
| 4:18 | that we have racked up |
| 4:20 | so our gospel text today |
| 4:23 | really builds on the scandal of all of |
| 4:25 | this think of it this way |
| 4:28 | we want things in life to be fair that’s |
| 4:31 | what we want right |
| 4:32 | at least in certain things and then in |
| 4:34 | other things we want things to be just |
| 4:37 | let me give you an example all right |
| 4:39 | when it comes to |
| 4:41 | professional sports what we expect |
| 4:46 | is a fair playing field |
| 4:49 | that no team has what we would call an |
| 4:52 | unfair advantage and of course there’s |
| 4:55 | been |
| 4:56 | scandals in sports history you know i |
| 4:59 | think back to when |
| 5:00 | a certain quarterback for the new |
| 5:02 | england patriots |
| 5:04 | may or may not have been involved in a |
| 5:06 | scandal related to |
| 5:08 | a playoff game with the indianapolis |
| 5:10 | colts i was living in indianapolis at |
| 5:12 | the time |
| 5:13 | right and there were footballs that were |
| 5:16 | deflated that were not at the proper |
| 5:18 | pounds per square inch and so what the |
| 5:21 | new england patriots they had |
| 5:23 | an unfair advantage |
| 5:26 | when it comes to sports we want things |
| 5:28 | to be fair why because |
| 5:30 | on the sports field what do we want we |
| 5:32 | want the people who’ve put in the time |
| 5:35 | who’ve done the work who have the talent |
| 5:38 | who’ve got the moves |
| 5:39 | have got the plays down we want them in |
| 5:42 | a fair |
| 5:43 | playing field to be able to rise to the |
| 5:46 | top |
| 5:46 | and defeat those below them |
| 5:50 | who haven’t quite put in the time and |
| 5:52 | the effort the whole idea behind a |
| 5:54 | championship is that |
| 5:55 | you found a team that excels |
| 5:59 | in doing great things |
| 6:02 | other teams the reason why they fall by |
| 6:04 | the wayside is because they don’t have |
| 6:06 | what it takes so on an affair playing |
| 6:09 | field |
| 6:10 | we expect the cream to rise to the top |
| 6:14 | and the dross to fall to the bottom |
| 6:17 | and the one thing we all hate and by the |
| 6:19 | way i hate it |
| 6:21 | are those sports leagues for kids where |
| 6:24 | every team gets a championship trophy |
| 6:27 | and no score is allowed to be taken |
| 6:30 | right |
| 6:31 | this is nonsense this is ridiculousness |
| 6:34 | it’s |
| 6:34 | we despise the idea now regarding |
| 6:37 | fairness also |
| 6:38 | think of it this way when it comes time |
| 6:40 | for your annual review at work |
| 6:42 | and it comes time for your performance |
| 6:45 | and along with your performance being |
| 6:47 | evaluated |
| 6:48 | you expect to get a commiserate |
| 6:51 | raise in your salary right oh we want |
| 6:54 | everything to be fair we want the boss |
| 6:56 | to notice |
| 6:57 | i’m working harder than that guy i’m |
| 7:00 | putting in the time oh that guy |
| 7:02 | he calls in sick at least twice a week |
| 7:04 | and have you seen his shoddy work |
| 7:06 | so when it comes time for the annual |
| 7:08 | review if that guy |
| 7:10 | got the same raise as me |
| 7:14 | oh you better believe it hr is going to |
| 7:17 | be given a visit |
| 7:18 | there’s going to be emails that are |
| 7:20 | harshly written |
| 7:22 | and everybody’s going to know that that |
| 7:24 | is |
| 7:25 | not fair |
| 7:30 | right and so we think that salvation |
| 7:34 | kind of works the same way right |
| 7:38 | lord Jesus i’ve given up dancing for you |
| 7:41 | well you’re norwegian that’s not a big |
| 7:43 | deal |
| 7:46 | lord Jesus i’ve given up smoking and |
| 7:49 | chewing |
| 7:50 | and i even cut back on the number of |
| 7:52 | curse words that i use |
| 7:53 | that’s what i do right and you expect |
| 7:56 | that you’re going to have some kind of |
| 7:57 | an in and of course you look at that |
| 7:59 | poor fellow you know that guy comes to |
| 8:00 | church what |
| 8:01 | maybe once or twice a month and have you |
| 8:03 | seen how he doesn’t dress |
| 8:05 | up for Jesus the way i do |
| 8:07 | [Laughter] |
| 8:09 | you totally expect that when it comes |
| 8:11 | time for salvation to be doled out |
| 8:14 | there’s well maybe that guy might make |
| 8:16 | it he has |
| 8:17 | salvation but me |
| 8:20 | i have super salvation |
| 8:24 | right because everybody knows |
| 8:28 | that’s what would be fair |
| 8:32 | keep this in mind as we work our way |
| 8:34 | through this text because the scandal of |
| 8:35 | the gospel here |
| 8:36 | is on display for us all to see Christ |
| 8:39 | says |
| 8:40 | in our gospel text today the kingdom of |
| 8:43 | heaven |
| 8:44 | it’s like so you know this is a metaphor |
| 8:46 | it’s a parable |
| 8:47 | it gives us a picture of what the |
| 8:49 | kingdom of heaven is like it’s like a |
| 8:51 | master of a house who went out early in |
| 8:53 | the morning to hire laborers for his |
| 8:54 | vineyard |
| 8:55 | don’t make no mistake about it this guy |
| 8:57 | is Christ |
| 8:58 | that’s who’s doing the hiring here he’s |
| 9:01 | the master of the house |
| 9:02 | after agreeing with the laborers for a |
| 9:04 | denarius a day he sent them |
| 9:06 | into his vineyard you know these are |
| 9:08 | you’re kind of like |
| 9:09 | your cream of the crop construction guys |
| 9:12 | right |
| 9:13 | worked it out with them they’ve got a |
| 9:14 | union representative they sat |
| 9:16 | down what are you going to pay us for |
| 9:18 | your work i’ll give you |
| 9:19 | one denarius for a day’s work no |
| 9:22 | problemo that’s the going labor rate |
| 9:26 | and so the union boss says okay sends a |
| 9:28 | bunch of his best guys over to work |
| 9:31 | the vineyard |
| 9:34 | now going about the third hour he |
| 9:37 | recognizes he’s going to need a little |
| 9:39 | bit more help |
| 9:41 | you’re not going to go with the union |
| 9:42 | boss at this point when i lived in |
| 9:43 | southern california there was a weird |
| 9:45 | phenomenon you can see this |
| 9:46 | in southern california i don’t i haven’t |
| 9:49 | seen it here but i’m sure maybe there’s |
| 9:50 | an equivalent to it |
| 9:52 | if you go to home depot early in the |
| 9:56 | morning |
| 9:57 | you could usually find a group of guys |
| 9:59 | kind of hanging out in the home depot |
| 10:01 | parking lot |
| 10:02 | these are your day laborers and trucks |
| 10:04 | would show up and say i’ll take you you |
| 10:05 | you and you and those guys hop in and |
| 10:07 | they get they go for a day and they do a |
| 10:09 | day’s worth of work |
| 10:10 | all right so that’s what’s happening |
| 10:13 | here |
| 10:14 | the the master heads off to the home |
| 10:16 | depot he needs a few more |
| 10:18 | laborers and here’s what it says |
| 10:22 | you go into the vineyard too and |
| 10:25 | whatever |
| 10:25 | is and here’s an interesting thing in |
| 10:28 | the greek |
| 10:29 | i know the your ersv says whatever is |
| 10:31 | right |
| 10:32 | but the greek word is d chaos which |
| 10:35 | means |
| 10:36 | just and whatever is just |
| 10:39 | i will give you notice he doesn’t say |
| 10:41 | fair |
| 10:43 | he says whatever is just i will give to |
| 10:46 | you |
| 10:47 | all right so they went going out again |
| 10:49 | about the sixth hour |
| 10:50 | and the ninth hour he did the same |
| 10:54 | and now about the 11th hour he went out |
| 10:57 | and found others |
| 10:58 | standing 11th hour i mean you got one |
| 11:00 | hour left of the work day |
| 11:02 | one hour left of the work day and who’s |
| 11:05 | he finding to go |
| 11:06 | work in the vineyard at this point i |
| 11:08 | mean these are the guys who didn’t get |
| 11:10 | hired |
| 11:11 | earlier in the day later in the morning |
| 11:14 | early in the afternoon these are kind of |
| 11:17 | your leftover dregs of |
| 11:18 | of whatever and these are these are |
| 11:20 | fellows here they have no expectations |
| 11:23 | whatsoever of earning a denarius none |
| 11:26 | maybe they’ll get enough that they can |
| 11:28 | after work head over to the |
| 11:30 | local bar and have a beer afterwards but |
| 11:33 | i mean |
| 11:34 | you know hey if this guy’s gonna pay me |
| 11:36 | for an hour’s worth of work i mean |
| 11:38 | at least when it comes miller time i can |
| 11:41 | you know |
| 11:41 | go off and enjoy a beer |
| 11:45 | so he found others standing he said to |
| 11:47 | them why are you standing here idle |
| 11:49 | they said because no one’s hired us he |
| 11:51 | said that you go into the vineyard too |
| 11:53 | no negotiation here no negotiation |
| 11:55 | there’s no discussion of price |
| 11:57 | or nothing so when the evening came so |
| 12:00 | now 12 hours of |
| 12:02 | work day have gone by evening came the |
| 12:05 | owner of the vineyard said to his |
| 12:06 | foreman you call the laborers and you |
| 12:08 | pay them their wages |
| 12:09 | beginning with the last up to the first |
| 12:12 | and when |
| 12:12 | those hired about the 11th hour came |
| 12:15 | each of them |
| 12:16 | received a denarius a full |
| 12:19 | day’s wage and you can kind of see how |
| 12:22 | this is working okay you got them all |
| 12:24 | lined up okay the guys who came in last |
| 12:26 | they’re at the front of the line |
| 12:28 | the guys who came in first they’re at |
| 12:29 | the back of the line |
| 12:31 | you see the last will be first the first |
| 12:33 | will be last and so what happens |
| 12:35 | guy number one who shows up for an hour |
| 12:37 | who barely |
| 12:39 | he did even broke a sweat if he broke a |
| 12:41 | sweat at all |
| 12:42 | he receives a shiny denarius a full |
| 12:45 | day’s wage and what and he go whoa |
| 12:48 | i got a whole denarius and you can see |
| 12:51 | how this is going |
| 12:52 | going down then the the news goes down |
| 12:55 | the line |
| 12:56 | and the guys that got hired at the |
| 12:57 | beginning of the day are sitting there |
| 12:58 | going |
| 12:59 | this dude’s paying at daenerys an hour |
| 13:01 | man |
| 13:02 | this is going to be awesome no he’s not |
| 13:06 | he’s not paying in daenerys an hour but |
| 13:08 | you’ll notice the generosity of the |
| 13:10 | fellow who shows up at the end of the |
| 13:11 | day right |
| 13:14 | so 11th hour came each of them received |
| 13:16 | a daenerys now when those hired first |
| 13:19 | came they thought they would receive |
| 13:21 | more they’re thinking this guy’s paying |
| 13:23 | a denarius per hour |
| 13:24 | but each of them also received denarius |
| 13:27 | and on receiving it they grumbled at the |
| 13:29 | master of the house |
| 13:30 | grumbled oh this guy’s worthless i |
| 13:32 | cannot believe what a jerk this guy is |
| 13:35 | this is not fair |
| 13:38 | right where’s hr there needs to be a law |
| 13:42 | we got to do something about this |
| 13:43 | because everybody knows |
| 13:45 | equal pay for equal work right |
| 13:49 | that’s a slogan we hear a lot today |
| 13:51 | [Music] |
| 13:54 | oh boy well |
| 13:57 | so they grumbled at the master these |
| 14:00 | last worked |
| 14:01 | only one hour and you have made them |
| 14:05 | equal to us who have borne the burden of |
| 14:08 | the day and the scorching heat |
| 14:10 | oh there’s there’s the rub isn’t it that |
| 14:13 | worthless fellow who only worked one |
| 14:14 | hour |
| 14:15 | you made him my equal i’m better than |
| 14:17 | him i put in more work than he did |
| 14:20 | and yada yada yada on it goes |
| 14:23 | but now the master doubles down |
| 14:27 | on grace and it’s wonderful so he |
| 14:30 | replied to one of them |
| 14:32 | friend and i always like to think that |
| 14:35 | in the greek here |
| 14:36 | this is a little bit of a different kind |
| 14:38 | of friend |
| 14:39 | in the greek this is more like hey buddy |
| 14:42 | that’s that’s a little closer to what |
| 14:44 | this is saying hey buddy |
| 14:46 | i’m doing you no wrong did you not agree |
| 14:49 | with me for a denarius |
| 14:52 | well actually you did we negotiated that |
| 14:54 | with your union boss this is |
| 14:56 | you so take what belongs to you and go |
| 14:59 | i choose to give this last worker as i |
| 15:02 | give |
| 15:02 | to you am i not allowed |
| 15:05 | to do what i choose with what belongs to |
| 15:08 | me |
| 15:09 | or you do you begrudge my generosity |
| 15:14 | so are you saying that if hitler |
| 15:18 | confessed his sins on his deathbed that |
| 15:20 | he’s forgiven |
| 15:21 | and he has eternal life yeah |
| 15:25 | well you’re you’re you’re making hitler |
| 15:27 | equal with all the other Christians the |
| 15:29 | Christians who were |
| 15:30 | Christians their entire life you’re |
| 15:31 | making hitler equal with him he has |
| 15:33 | eternal life that’s just not fair that’s |
| 15:35 | not right |
| 15:36 | of course it’s not fair it’s just |
| 15:41 | and here’s the reason why it’s just is |
| 15:44 | because Jesus is the one who bore the |
| 15:46 | heat |
| 15:48 | who put in the day’s work languished on |
| 15:51 | the cross |
| 15:55 | the entire day |
| 15:58 | it was his death his work his |
| 16:02 | righteousness that saved miserable |
| 16:04 | sinners like you |
| 16:05 | and like me so that we can be saved |
| 16:08 | whether we are saved as children |
| 16:11 | whether we are saved on our deathbed |
| 16:15 | so that we can be forgiven do you |
| 16:17 | begrudge |
| 16:18 | the fact that Jesus told that thief on |
| 16:20 | the cross |
| 16:21 | today you will be with me in paradise |
| 16:24 | you’re making that thief equal with me |
| 16:25 | Jesus |
| 16:26 | and i’ve been i’ve been following you my |
| 16:28 | whole life |
| 16:29 | do you begrudge that then you’re |
| 16:32 | scandalized by the gospel itself |
| 16:35 | because Christ is generous in forgiving |
| 16:39 | sinners and not giving us what we |
| 16:42 | deserve |
| 16:44 | Jesus isn’t fair grace isn’t fair |
| 16:48 | grace is just because Christ is the one |
| 16:50 | who worked the whole day in fact a good |
| 16:52 | way to think of it is this way |
| 16:53 | Christ already did all the hard labor |
| 16:56 | and |
| 16:57 | as you came into the vineyard he already |
| 17:00 | put that shiny daenerys in your pocket |
| 17:02 | before you even lifted a finger to do |
| 17:05 | anything because that denarius was |
| 17:08 | won for you by him and so he generously |
| 17:12 | and freely forgives sinners |
| 17:16 | like you like me |
| 17:20 | and sadly |
| 17:24 | for all of the despots out there he has |
| 17:27 | bled and died for them as well |
| 17:28 | even if they didn’t repent of their sins |
| 17:31 | and that’s the tragedy of it |
| 17:33 | the generosity of Christ and of the |
| 17:35 | gospel extends to all humanity |
| 17:38 | from sinful adam to adolf hitler to |
| 17:40 | mountain |
| 17:42 | to stalin to name your most |
| 17:46 | hated politician |
| 17:50 | to even you |
| 17:53 | even you i’ve said it before and i’ll |
| 17:55 | say it again it’s a scandal |
| 17:57 | it’s a scandal that bro is forgiven |
| 18:00 | it’s absolutely scandalous the roseboro |
| 18:04 | will someday walk into the new earth |
| 18:10 | and there will be tax collectors thieves |
| 18:13 | robbers prostitutes name the riffraff |
| 18:16 | and they’re going to be looking and |
| 18:18 | going oh my goodness |
| 18:20 | Jesus is letting anybody in now |
| 18:25 | and that’s the point so do not be |
| 18:29 | ashamed of the gospel |
| 18:31 | it is the power of god into salvation |
| 18:33 | Christ |
| 18:34 | has bled and died for all and so we can |
| 18:38 | rejoice |
| 18:39 | with those who have faith have been |
| 18:42 | given repentance and faith |
| 18:44 | from the time of their infancy |
| 18:47 | through their whole lives to those who |
| 18:50 | on their death |
| 18:51 | beds hear the gospel |
| 18:54 | and the holy spirit quickens their |
| 18:56 | hearts raises them from the dead |
| 18:58 | and their sins are forgiven we can |
| 19:00 | rejoice at the generosity of Christ |
| 19:03 | that his forgiveness and eternal life |
| 19:05 | and salvation |
| 19:07 | is for anybody any time as long as they |
| 19:11 | are still breathing |
| 19:16 | i don’t think you can add too much to |
| 19:17 | that so here again the words of isaiah |
| 19:20 | seek then the lord while he may be found |
| 19:24 | call upon him while he is near and he is |
| 19:26 | near today |
| 19:28 | scripture is clear Christ is clear where |
| 19:30 | two or more gathered he is present |
| 19:32 | Christ is here today to serve you he’s |
| 19:35 | here to forgive you |
| 19:37 | he’s here to feed you with his body and |
| 19:38 | blood to assure you of his mercy and |
| 19:40 | grace |
| 19:41 | so prophet isaiah says let the wicked |
| 19:44 | forsake his way let the unrighteous man |
| 19:46 | his thoughts |
| 19:47 | let him return to the lord so that he |
| 19:49 | may have compassion on him |
| 19:51 | and to our god for he will abundantly |
| 19:54 | pardon i find it fascinating that there |
| 19:57 | are people today who |
| 19:59 | for whatever reason want a gospel |
| 20:02 | without adverbs |
| 20:04 | isn’t that weird stop talking about how |
| 20:07 | free the gospel is talk stop talking in |
| 20:10 | these superlatives |
| 20:11 | and yet the prophet isaiah here says |
| 20:13 | that god |
| 20:14 | abundantly pardons |
| 20:18 | do you need forgiveness today and i know |
| 20:21 | you do |
| 20:22 | note this that Christ is not handing out |
| 20:24 | his forgiveness |
| 20:25 | piecemeal well here’s two grains of |
| 20:28 | grace for you |
| 20:31 | instead he says here open your bag |
| 20:34 | and he pours as much grace as you need |
| 20:37 | and beyond |
| 20:38 | into your bag today he abundantly |
| 20:41 | pardons why because god’s thoughts are |
| 20:44 | not your thoughts or my |
| 20:46 | thoughts his ways are not our ways |
| 20:49 | he is not interested in being fair when |
| 20:53 | it comes to your salvation |
| 20:58 | for as the heavens are higher than the |
| 21:00 | earth so are my ways higher than your |
| 21:03 | ways and my thoughts than your thoughts |
| 21:05 | and you see the difference between us |
| 21:08 | and god |
| 21:10 | is that he freely forgives he gives |
| 21:13 | people what they don’t deserve |
| 21:15 | because Christ took what they deserve |
| 21:19 | upon himself so that they can be given |
| 21:22 | abundant pardon |
| 21:23 | and grace in the name of Jesus |
| 21:28 | amen |
