Grace in Equal Measure

None of us worthy
all of us have sinned
all of us estranged from God
our creator and king

Only by Christ
may we enter in
coming before God in his courts
dare to walk before him

Our toil in the fields of the Lord
not the basis of our reward
Grace in equal measure
whenever we come to believe

Matthew 20:1-16
sermon, "Grumbling about Grace"
by Rev. Frank Gulinello
“Jesus’ parable of the laborers in the vineyard is about
a gracious God whose grace is extraordinarily and
excessively extravagant. Sometimes the
amazing grace of God causes us to grumble because
it seems to be unjust and not fair in our view of the way life should be.”
