Why Should I work?

Good teacher, how can I buy eternal life? The rich young man knew he was lacking something, and so he sought an answer. He was rich, therefore he was blessed by God. Everyone knows that poor people are not blessed by God, but he was rich, therefore almost in heaven.

Yet when Jesus said that it was almost impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom, then who possibly could qualify?

Of course, when Peter heard that giving up everything was the key to heavenly riches, he immediately points out to Jesus that he and the other disciples had given up everything. Did you get that Jesus? Everything.... So just how big will our reward be?

Thus Jesus needs to clarify this by telling the story of the days wages to all, I repeat, all who have worked for the kingdom.

Just why are you serving in God's field? is it for your treasure pile in the Kingdom, or because of love?

May your motives be pure and God's love be sufficient
