2: "Now when he had areed with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3: "And when he went out about the third hour and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4: "And said to them, 'You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went.
5: "Again he went out about the sixth and the nineth hour, and did likewise.
6: "And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing idle, 'Why have you been standing here idle all day?'
7: "They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You also go into he vineyard, and whatever is right you will also receive.'
8: "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his stewart, 'Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first.'
9: "And when those came who were hiredabout the eleventh hour, they each received a denarius.
10: "But when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received each a denarius.
11: "And when they had received it, they complained against the landowner,
12: "Saying, 'these last men have worked only one hour, and you made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the heat of the day.'
13: "But he answered one of them and said, 'Friend, I am doing you no wrong, Did you not agree with me for a denarius?
14: 'Take what is yours and go your way. I wish to give to this man the same as to you.
15: 'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with my own things? Or is your eve evil because I am good?'
16: "So the last will be first, and the first last. For many are called, but few chosen."

25: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God."
26: And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, "Who then can be saved?"
27: But Jesus looked at them and said, "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible!"
28: Then Peter began to say to Him, "See, we have left all and followed You."

Who we really are—Spirits created by God – reincarnated in material bodies in existences over and over until we get it right, to the event of perfection as best can be achieved. Different reincarnations resolve into different trials that will lead to this advent, whether of our choosing or the choosing of God. We are all created the same, simple and ignorant. And through to use of free will choose our own paths with each succeeding life. Yes all of us will at some time achieve this perfection. The spirit is what is important, the human flesh but the garment worn in the fulfillment of the trial and or expiation needed. The social status of the person in the material world often does not match the level the spirit might hold in the spirit world. A spirit who is granted a powerful position in the material world abuses his status; in another existence he could be humbled to a much lower esteem. The Pharisees sect believed in resurrection of the soul but they believed it was only for them. Matthew 20:1-16, “the parables of the laborers” was initially meant for the Pharisees. Jesus conveyed that the kingdom of heaven is meant for all.
