4. Read Matthew 19:27-30. After Jesus just finished telling the disciples that they would be rewarded, why did Jesus tell the disciples that the first would be last and the last will be first? What point was Jesus trying to make? How is that relevant to your walk with God today?
5. Read Matthew 20:1-16. In this story there is God—the Land owner, and two sets of workers. The first set of workers were part of an entitlement club.
