THE LAST WILL BE FIRST AND THE FIRST LAST (“He Said What?” Shocking Statements of Jesus- Part 10)
November 18, 2018

Matthew 20:1–16

Background/Context: Rich Young Ruler (Mt. 19:16-30)

YOU SAY YOU WANT JUSTICE? YOU DON’T WANT TO GO THERE!

YOU DON’T WANT A CONTRACT WITH GOD; YOU WANT A COVENANT.

3 SIGNS OF A CONTRACT-WITH-GOD MINDSET:
Bitterness Towards God
Do you think God has withheld some good from you that you think you deserve?
Jealous of Good Happening to Others
Are you jealous of good things others have?
Indifferent to Those Suffering
Are you moved to action by others’ suffering?

RIPPING UP THE CONTRACT…

…Replaces bitterness with gratitude

…Replaces jealousy with contentment

…Replaces indifference with compassion
