Deep dives
God's ways are not our ways
Jesus tells a story about the kingdom of heaven to illustrate that God's ways and thoughts are different from ours. In the story, a landowner hires laborers at different times throughout the day, but pays them all the same amount. The workers who were hired first feel angry and resentful towards the landowner's generosity. Jesus uses this story to challenge the mentality that heaven is something we earn through our own efforts. Instead, heaven is a gift from God, and our response should be gratitude and a desire to see others join us in heaven.
