Yes, the sacrifices of the apostles and other followers of Jesus - TopicsExpress



          

Yes, the sacrifices of the apostles and other followers of Jesus will be honored by God, but the reward will so outstrip the sacrifice that it must be seen as sheer grace. Although some may feel that their long and costly service qualifies them for a higher rate of pay in the kingdom, all must humbly acknowledge that in fact they are like the eleventh-hour workers. None deserves the glorious future that God has prepared for them. -Dougleas Hare. Interpretation Commentary Series: Matthew. 231. Talking about of gospel lesson from yesterday (Matthew 20:1-16), Hare points out Gods limitless goodness, and how even the most faithful effort fades in comparison. What do yall think? Is it depressing to think that human effort doesnt add up to much? Or is it good news that no matter what we do or dont, Gods graciousness is still assured? Let us know in the comments!
