As I'm re-reading the Bible slowly, I am in Exodus as well as reading the New Testament in my Daily Wisdom for Women Day Devotional Bible. Reading the Law: Master and Servant Exodus 21, had to make a note that it really seems harsh. Some servants warranted to be free after seven years, but seems if they didn't pay particular attention to their P's 'n Q's (as we say), they never attained freedom. It seemed strange to me that Moses led the people out of Egypt to freedom, but for some they were still slaves only now to one another. Is why some parts of the Bible, I need to dig further to understand. The Law: Injuries to the Person seemed fair.
My post: with God we are all the same who accept him was my thought on Matthew 20:1-19. The parable Jesus tells of the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. Some were hired early in the day for a penny a day, some were hired later in the day for a penny a day. Some worked more hours but at the end of the day, they all attained the same reward - a penny for the day.
Matthew 20:14 Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
So no matter when we accept the love of Jesus into our heart, we are all the same to him. 💖
I hope all will have a good week ahead, and a great Sunday. 😃
