Matthew 20:1-16

1. We learn that in the calling of NATIONS to the professed knowledge of Himself, God exercises, free, sovereign, and unconditional grace.
2. We learn that in the saving of INDIVIDUALS, as well as in the calling of nations, God acts as a sovereign, and gives no account of His matters.

A few cautions to draw from this parable:

1. Let us beware of supposing that salvation is in the slightest degree to be obtained by works.
2. Let us beware of supposing that the distinction between Jews and Gentiles is entirely done away by the Gospel.
3. Let us beware of supposing that all saved souls will have the same degree of glory.
4. Let us beware of supposing that it is safe for anyone to put off repentance until the end of his days.

"We only know that God loves to hide pride from churches, and to take away all occasion of boasting. He will never allow the older branches of His church to look contemptuously on the younger."
