A hard-working farmer should have the first share of the crops.
Whoever takes care of a fig tree can eat its fruit, and whoever protects his master is honored.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard.
“The one who received ten thousand dollars invested the money at once and doubled his money.
He told them, “The harvest is large, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops.
I do all this for the sake of the Good News in order to share what it offers.
Understand what I’m saying. The Lord will help you understand all these things.
You need endurance so that after you have done what God wants you to do, you can receive what he has promised.
God blesses the earth. So rain often falls on it, and it produces useful crops for farmers.
