“Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?”
(Matt. 20:15)
In Jesus’ Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matt. 20:1-16) one of the many truths taught is His absolute sovereign right to do with His own as He pleases. Those who murmer, complain, and kick at this fact show that they are void of any understanding of what true Lordship involves.
It’s the potter who has all the rights, not the clay! Therefore, He can do with His own as He pleases; but His own cannot do as they please, only what pleases Him. “The man Christ Jesus,” when walking this earth, left us an example in this respect, “I do always those things that please Him.”
Our Creator is a royal, supreme, omnipotent, sovereign God; and He is to be trusted unreservedly as a good God in all His acts in our lives! We must believe that there are times when He must hurt us to help us. Setting a broken leg can be very painful, but in time you’ll be able to walk straight again.
