A strange wage policy, grumpy employees, and a business man with an agenda. No this is not a story about your workplace. It’s one of the stories Jesus told about the Kingdom of God. The first will be last and the last will be first.

Happy Father’s Day! Jesus told a lot of stories about Dad’s. Some had to do with the loving nature of our heavenly father. These two deal with two different approaches to people that act one way at first, but then actually live out their lives in another way. Jesus is not a fan of that.

Jesus liked to tell stories. So sit back, settle in, and… uh, actually His stories were intended to spur us on to action. So let’s get to it.

Got Spirit? Do you want more of God? Is that even possible? Being filled with the Holy Spirit sounds like something for the super spiritual. But He wants to abide in us. Each of us.

This is the culmination of the “one another lifestyle.” If we love, accept and forgive one another, then we will serve them. It just makes sense. Oh…and Jesus told us to.
