Welcome to the NT90 challenge, a 90 day reading challenge from Nappanee Missionary Church!
Today’s story might seem a little strange. In fact, when the people in this story complain you migh teven think they have a good REASON to complain. You might think that what happened was NOT FAIR!
But remember, this is a story about something on earth that the people Jesus told it to would know about. They would know about getting hired to do a job and getting paid.
BUT Jesus was actually telling a story about HEAVEN! He was saying that everyone who asks God to forgive their sins and who chooses to follow Jesus will be forgiven of their sins and be part of God’s family, no matter who they are.
We will be reading from the New International Readers Version of the Bible, which is the translation of the Bible that we use in our K/1 and 2/3 classrooms.
As we read, take some time to pray and ask God to show you something new or remind you of something important you already know about. Ask God to speak to you through His Word!
