It’s Not Fair”

 

Int:      We’ve all said, “It’s not fair.”  It may be the first phrase children learn.  We say it when we feel we’re being cheated.

“He got more.”  “Why does she get to do that?”  “When’s it gonna be my turn?”  Sound familiar?

Jesus deals with human fairness and God fairness in today’s Gospel.  They’re not the same.  We’ll look at Matthew 20 again in a minute, but first, it’s nice when people say:

 

1. I’ll take you at your word

   1. Untrustworthy

2. First part of text

   1. Next part

   2. Next part

3. Next part

   1. Last part

4. Is God Fair?

   1. Is it Fair that Jesus Died?

 

Con:    Fairness is right in this world…
