II. HOWEVER
The Rich Man and Lazarus
Luke 16:19-21:
[19] “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day.
[20] And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,
[21] who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
However you are poor and very low God’s grace will find you
Luke 16:22-23:
[22] The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried,
[23] and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side.
III. WHENEVER
Laborers in the Vineyard
Matthew 20:1-6:
[1] “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
[2] After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
[3] And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
[4] and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.’
[5] So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same.
[6] And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?’
For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.
Whenever you are, in the morning stage of your life, in the noon time of your life, in the afternoon stage of your life, or even in evening time of your life the grace of God will find you and bring you to the Father’s house with the full Reward of salvation!
Matthew 20:13-16:
[13] But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
[14] Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you.
[15] Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’
[16] So the last will be first, and the first last.”
THE GRACE OF GOD IS CONSTANT AND NEVER CHANGE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END!
This is about salvation and the grace of God for the one whom God chooses and respond to God’s calling from the early stage of their life or from their the end of their life.

IV. WHEREVER
LUKE 15:11-23
THE PARABLE OF THE PRODIGAL SON
Luke 15:13:
[13] Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and there he squandered his property in reckless living.
Luke 15:15-16:
[15] So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs.
[16] And he was longing to be fed with the pods that the pigs ate, and no one gave him anything.
The prodigal son went far away to other country and suffering in the pig’s pan, and eating the pig’s food.
Luke 15:17-24:
[17] “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have more than enough bread, but I perish here with hunger!
[18] I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you.
[19] I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Treat me as one of your hired servants.”’
[20] And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. [21] And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
[22] But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet.
[23] And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate.
[24] For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.
The grace of God, find the prodigal son in the far country and in the pig’s pan, then brings him to the father’s house!
The Father restored the son: “the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet”.
The grace of God celebrate with a big party:
“And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate”.
Luke 15:7:
[7] Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Luke 15:10:
[10] Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
