Matthew 19:27-20:16

Those who follow Jesus may struggle with the fairness of reward and sacrifice, but God's generosity operates on grace, not human effort. This passage explores Jesus' response to His disciples' concerns about sacrifice and reward, emphasizing that God delights in rewarding His followers—but on His terms, not ours. Through the parable of the laborers, we are reminded that His grace is freely given, not earned, and that comparison leads to resentment, while gratitude brings joy.
