Scripture: Matthew 20:1-16
“Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.”
John Stott
“No matter how much we give lip service to the notion of free grace and dying love, we do not like it. It is just too … indiscriminate. It lets rotten sons and crooked tax farmers and common tarts into the kingdom, and it thumbs its nose at really good people. And it does that, gallingly, for no more reason than the Gospel’s shabby exaltation of dumb trust over worthy works.”
Robert Capon
“Grace cannot prevail … until our lifelong certainty that someone is keeping score has run out of steam and collapsed.”
Robert Capon
“Savior, if of Zion’s city,
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name.
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know.”
John Newton
