Matthew 19
tells the story of a young man who had kept the commandments always but who
chose his material possessions over the gospel.
The
evidence that I find that the Young man decided not to follow the savior is
that after the Savior directly invited him to specific answer he decided to go
away and did not trust him. He chose his earthly possessions over the gospel.
The Savior promises
that those who follow him will ‘’be first’’; he said to his apostles that they
would sit in twelve thrones when he sits in his throne in heaven. He promises also
that they will receive ‘’an hundredfold’ and have eternal life.
Material possessions
are important, but they are insignificant when we compare them with the happiness
of living with our families for ever in the Celestian Kingdom. When we put
things in perspective that way we are able to make choices that lead us to
Christ.
Parable of the laborers
This
teaches me that all who serve in the Lord’s Kingdom can obtain the same reward:
The Celestial Kingdom. Even those who didn’t have the chance of receiving the
gospel early in their lives are able to earn that same reward.
This is a
great message of comfort for converts who like the laborers of the eleventh
hour were afraid for great part of the day that they were not going to be hired;
converts can have the assurance that they can earn the same reward as long time
members of the church.
I really like this talk that would answer any
question about why they are paid equally and what that means for us:
