Not Fair!

February 5, 2021

Matthew 20: 12 These who were hired last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day’s work and the scorching heat.

I have been riding my bike quite a bit this summer and one interesting observation of note is the number and variety of places I have seen quoted John 3: 16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”
