Ian Britton recommences this Truth for Today series by considering the various sections of Matthew 20: vv.1-16, Unpopular grace; vv.17-19, The basis of both grace and blessing; vv.20-24, The wrong way to seek blessing; vv.25-28, Greatness through serving; vv.29-34, Blessing – based on grace. There are lessons for Christians to learn from each section, such as the importance of faith, how God views things differently from us, and the need for us to follow Jesus as His disciples.
