In this in‑depth teaching we answer the question “What does ‘many are called but few are chosen' really mean?” We explore Matthew 20 and Matthew 22, where Jesus shares the parables of the vineyard workers and the wedding feast. You'll learn how the same wage offered to laborers points to God's generous gift of salvation and how the wedding garment symbolizes the righteousness of Christ. We unpack Greek terms like kaleō (“to call” or invite) and synagō (“to gather,” used for drawing fish into a net ,and we explain why the phrase “many are called, few are chosen” isn't about God's favoritism but our response. Discover how 2 Peter 1:10 encourages us to confirm our calling by living out Christ‑like qualities and how John 15:16 shows that Jesus chooses those who draw near.

27/07 - Matthew 20 - Peter Connor by mccmedia

The mother of the sons of Zebedee approached Jesus with her sonsand did him homage, wishing to ask him for something.He said to her,"What do you wish?"She answered him,"Command that these two sons of mine sit,one at your right and the other at your left, in your Kingdom."Jesus said in reply,"You do not know what you are asking.Can you drink the chalice that I am going to drink?"They said to him, "We can."He replied,"My chalice you will indeed drink,but to sit at my right and at my left, this is not mine to givebut is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father."When the ten heard this,they became indignant at the two brothers.But Jesus summoned them and said,"You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them,and the great ones make their authority over them felt.But it shall not be so among you.Rather, whoever wishes to be great among you shall be your servant;whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave.Just so, the Son of Man did not come to be servedbut to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many."

Greatness in God's kingdom is found through humility, sacrificial service, and open-hearted dependence on Him.

Jesus leaves Jericho and two blind men heard about Him from the crowd, and they call out to Jesus for mercy. The crowd told them to be quiet, but they wouldn't stop asking for Jesus to show them mercy. Jesus stops, asks them what they want, and they respond, “That our eyes might be open.” Jesus has compassion and He touches them, and they are healed. They are able to see, and they follow Jesus.

1 Chronicles 21-22; 19 Psalms 38-39; 40 Matthew 20

In 2 Samuel 3 an agreement is made between David and Abner to transfer all power under David's authority and for Abner to facilitate this transition. David agrees that Abner will replace Joab as the commander of the army. When Joab heard of this agreement he tried hard to change David's mind by claiming that Abner could not be trusted. The chapter began by telling us of David's growing power and family; at the same time as the house of Saul is in serious decline. The chapter says that Ishbosheth challenged Abner by accusing him of being intimate with one of Ishbosheth's concubines. Abner reacted violently and swore to transfer authority to David. Ishbosheth was never able to control Abner and so Abner's outburst was met with silence. David also made a condition for Abner's plan to be implemented that his wife Michal must be restored to David. Abner convinced the heads of Benjamin to support Abner's plan. He travels with 20 Benjaminites to come with him for the discussions with David. After Abner's visit Joab sought to overturn the agreement. Now his sworn enemy, who had killed Joab's younger brother - Asahel - had usurped Joab's position as captain of the army. Verses 26-30 tell of Joab's cunning deception and he and his brother Abishai ruthlessly slaying Abner at the gates of Hebron - a city of refuge. Verses 31-34 recounts David's anger and sadness at the treachery of his two nephews. Abner was publicly praised by David for his courage and dedication to his job. He died tragically as a fool at the hands of the cruel brothers. David describes Joab and Abishai as wicked men. In Verses 35-40 David refused food and mirth to honour Abner. This was pleasing to David's servants as they respected everything that king David did. David then expressed the view that Joab and Abishai were extremely dangerous men. David called on Yahweh as his witness that the king had nothing to do with Abner's assassination.

This was pleasing to David's servants as they respected everything that king David did. David then expressed the view that Joab and Abishai were extremely dangerous men. David called on Yahweh as his witness that the king had nothing to do with Abner's assassination. In Jeremiah 9 verses 1-3 the prophet laments the deplorable circumstances that had come upon Judah. He says that he could weep uncontrollably for his nation. He speaks of the immorality in both words and actions that had brought this about. Verses 4-6 speak of how the nation had no moral fibre - everyone was guilty of lying and oppressing others. In verses 7-9 the Almighty declares that He must chastise His people for their falsehood. Verses 10-11 say that the land will be divested of people and grazing animals. It will become the place for jackals. The cities of Judah will be uninhabited. Verses 12-19 laments the failure of any wise and discerning person to be found among Judah. The reason for the ruin of Judah was a failure to obey Yahweh's laws. They had stubbornly followed their idols and were reaping the consequences for their actions. Ultimately the LORD would cast them out of His Land. Verses 20-22 condemn the women of Judah who had embraced a covenant with death. And Judah's carcasses would be so many that they would be like dung on the ground. Verses 23-24 tells of the only possible remedy. The ideas are just as pertinent to every disciple today. We quote them in full and ask each reader to meditate on the meaning to the way we live before our Heavenly Father: "Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but him who boasts boast in this, that he knows and understands Me, that I am Yahweh who practises steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight says the LORD." The Apostle Paul elaborates on this theme in the book of Corinthians: 1 Corinthians 1 verses 18-31. Carefully ponder these lessons. Jeremiah concludes his ninth chapter in verse 24 by saying that the days are coming when Judah's Sovereign will judge all whose heart remains uncircumcised. Matthew's 20th chapter starts with the parable of the labourers in the vineyard, naturally representing Israel - Isaiah 5; Psalm 80 verses 8-19. The parable is memorable because of its failure to represent sound financial practice. This device deliberately tells us that access to the kingdom is on the basis of grace and not merit. Then follows in verses 17-19 Jesus telling the Apostles for a third time of his approaching and imminent demise. Then Salome, the mother of James and John (two of the three foremost Apostles), seeks for them the greatest positions of honour in Messiah's kingdom. All the lessons on humility leading to this point seem to have not been grasped. The section concludes with the healing of two blind men, who became followers of the Master.

Have you ever heard a child say, “But that's not fair”? How did you respond? Have you ever thought that yourself? We've all witnessed something that doesn't seem consistent with the “law” of fairness. Maybe something good happens to someone we don't believe deserves it. Or perhaps something bad happens to someone who doesn't seem to have done anything to deserve such a negative outcome. I'm looking forward to being back with you at Illuminate this Sunday as we learn from Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matt. 20:1–16) that God's kingdom is built on grace—not karma.

Daily Dose of Hope July 2, 2029   Scripture – Matthew 20:20-34   Prayer:  Almighty God, We rejoice in your perfect name.  We praise you and give you all the glory. We are grateful that you are a God who sits high and looks low.  Thank you for loving and caring for us.  We know that we fall short.  We know that we are not the people you want us to be.  But we want to do better.  Lord, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you this morning.  In these next few moments of silence, Lord, hear our prayers, hear our deepest needs...  Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are currently doing a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are finishing up Matthew 20.   In today's passage, we meet a mama who wants what's best for her boys.  Don't most of us parents really want our kids to do well in their jobs?  This woman was no exception.  She wanted her sons, James and John, to be ahead of the other disciples, seen as most worthy by Jesus.  She asked that when Jesus comes into his Kingdom, he would have one of her boys seated on his right and the other boy seated on his left. She wanted her sons to have the places of highest honor. This was not a small request, nor did she have any idea what she was asking. Let's get this straight.  There isn't anything wrong with ambition.  There isn't anything wrong with wanting to excel.  That's actually pretty important if we want to get things done in our lives.  And this mother was just looking out for her sons.  But I want you to picture this.  Here comes this mother with her grown sons in tow.  These are adult men, not little kids.  If we read the parallel passage in Mark 10, it's obvious these “boys” were in on the discussion.  They wanted to ask the same thing.  Maybe they felt like Jesus would be more empathetic toward their mama.  One thing that is interesting here is that their mother clearly believes that Jesus will come into his Kingdom.  She had faith in Jesus, so we have to give her kudos for that.  There were a lot of people doubting Jesus at this point.  So that is good. However, the competitiveness between the disciples was not good.  Even up through their time at the Last Supper, the disciples were always talking about who was the best and/or most important.  This mother and her boys coming to talk to Jesus about hierarchy in the Kingdom was one of several incidents in which the disciples just get things totally wrong.  God's Kingdom was not like earthly kingdoms with people wielding power over other people.  It wasn't about status or places of honor.  What this woman doesn't understand, nor do the disciples, is the servant nature of Jesus' Kingdom.  To be great in God's Kingdom, one must sacrifice much, more than they could ever anticipate.  They underestimated the level of sacrifice and humility required for Jesus' Kingdom and overestimated their own importance.  Don't we so often do the same?  Jesus is kind.  He doesn't put them down.  He just says, “You have no idea what it will cost you to sit next to me.”  It won't be long before Jesus will head to Jerusalem, disciples in tow, knowing he will be killed.  When Jesus asks if they understand the cost, they don't.  But he is asking them to suffer with him.  It will be Jesus who will die on the cross for the sins of the world, but all his disciples (including us) are also called to suffer by being faithful to him. And the disciples do suffer.  After Jesus' death and resurrection, the disciples are all in.  They are willing to suffer and die in Jesus' name.  James became the first disciple to die.  He was executed under Herod Agrippa I in Acts 12.  John was the last disciple to die; he ended up exiled on the island of Patmos.    At the end of this portion of Scripture, Jesus says something quite profound (he was known for doing that, you know.) He says the leaders of this world lord their power over the people.  But “not so with you.”   Four powerful and life-changing words.  The disciples are to behave differently.  We are to behave differently.  Jesus' followers are not supposed to be seeking earthly power and fame.  We are to be seeking Jesus.  How we get this so messed up.   The chapter ends with another miracle.  This seems appropriate.  Jesus is showing his disciples, “This is who we are.”   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Daily Dose of Hope July 1, 2025   Scripture – Matthew 20:1-19   Prayer: Lord Jesus, Show mercy on me.  I fail you over and over again.  I am not as loving as I should be.  I'm not as patient as I should be.  I don't demonstrate compassion and justice in the way you call me to do so.  Forgive me, Lord.  Help me do better.  More of you and less of me.  Amen.   Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we are exploring the first portion of Matthew 20.   The Kingdom of God turns things upside down. In this parable, we see Jesus emphasizing this truth. The bottom line, whether you worked all day or just for an hour, God acts with grace toward all people.   The story begins with three main characters: a landowner, a steward or manager, and people needing work. The first surprise comes when the landowner himself goes out to the marketplace to hire laborers. In spite of the unusual appearance by the wealthy landowner, the initial arrangement is typical of Jewish custom and Torah guidelines.  Workers are hired at the beginning of the day to be paid a typical daily wage at the end of their work day. But before those workers have a chance to get much work done, the landowner goes back to the marketplace to hire workers and repeats this practice all the way until the 5 o'clock hour when there is little daylight or work remaining. Those hired at nine, noon, and three are not offered a full contract but are willing to trust the landowner to pay them “whatever is right.” The five o'clock hires aren't promised anything but the opportunity to work. We would have thought that the landowner would have known the number of workers he needed.  But it seems evident that he is hiring workers not because there is this huge amount of work that needs to be done, but because the people need work.  The wealthy landowner is truly concerned for the workers themselves. And then comes time for the pay.  Shocking everyone, the people who were paid at the end of the day end up receiving a whole day's pay.  In fact, whether the person was hired at 8am or 5pm, they each got the same payment at the end of the work day.  This doesn't make the workers hired early very happy.  In fact, they protest.  They feel like justice has not been served.   While Jesus is concerned with justice, mercy is also very high on his list.  Jesus is once again making an important point here.  If we are “good people” our whole lives, that doesn't earn us a place in heaven. None of us are good enough; we are all sinners (Romans 3:23). We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. And whether we have believed in Jesus since we were 5 years old or 95 years old, we are given the same offer of grace. We are all in the same boat. God won't be passing out MVP trophies. Rather than complaining that it isn't fair, let's rejoice that Jesus has offered us grace at all. Let's be real-none of us are worthy.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

As we continue in the Gospel of Matthew, we come across the third time Jesus predicts his death. We look at several prophetic voices in the Old Testament that predicts the crucifixion, and how the Old Testament over and over again reveals God's plan of salvation.
