Latter Parables Of Jesus 6

INTRO: We have looked at the first parable, in these messages. I view the general truth of this parable to be this: ”The Jewish people who responded to the call of God before the eleventh hour of their history, will be last, because many were called but few were chosen; and the Jewish people of the eleventh hour will be first. So the last will be first and the first last. The last will be first in the kingdom and first in position.”

Now, in this first parable that we looked at, Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem and He is nearing Jericho. Let me show you that on the slide once more (Slide 1). In my calculation of the days, in the last parable we were at Tuesday, Nisan 7. You may remember that the Passover was commemorated on Nisan 14, and on this coming Passover day, Jesus will be crucified.
