They focus on our
differences
claiming they are superior
somehow endowed by the
Creator
with some mark of grace
But we are like masks of
clay only
the differences between us,
on the surface
false grounds to claim
another unworthy
when we all carry our portion
of sin
Only when we come to Jesus
when we accept His saving
grace
only then are we made worthy
to come before our God
Working in the vineyards
in the fields of the Savior
our humbly response only
to the grace given by God
Nothing we can do to earn
heaven
to the one life eternal
all of us like our neighbors
needing Christ to be
restored
None can claim something
greater
if they do it is a bald
faced lie
all of us are the same,
broken
before the touch of God.

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.”
