General Notes

Note

Matthew 20: 1-16 Expanded Wall Label: Some have been out since the crack of dawn. Others have stumbled in so close to the day's work being done. The master, though, knows no discrimination and gives payment equally. The early-comers grumble, for they have borne the burden of the day. But the master holds the reins tightly-- "Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me?" Under His sovereign hands man's order is disrupted; the first will be last and the last will be first.
