Choose from the following parables and follow the directions: Identify the parable you have chosen. Read the parable. In 150 - 200 words, reveal the lesson learned and write a personal application of how that lesson will apply to you and your life.
The parable I read is The Workers in the Vineyard-Matt. 20:1-16. The story involves a landowner hiring many people to work in his vineyard for the day. He told them they would receive a certain amount of money at the end of the day. Later he found more people to hire and work in the vineyard, and they agreed. Throughout the day, the landowner continued to hire more people. Finally, at the end of the day, he paid everyone starting with the people who were hired last. He gave them the same amount of money the people were hired first received. The people hired first were angry by this. I think the lesson in this parable is to not be envious of others. I can think of many times where I have put more effort into something than someone else and ended up with the same outcome as them. It's easy to be jealous of them, but it is important to stay humble and be thankful for what you get.
In 100-150 words, explain how the use of the terms "child" and "baby" at the designated stages of pregnancy are important? What can we understand about life in the womb at these stages?
The terms "child" and "baby" at the designated stages of pregnancy are important because it shows how much an individual, even before birth, is valued. The term "baby" is used when the mother is 6 months pregnant and the term "child" is used when the baby is born. This is a way of understanding that every human has a purpose and significance, even in the womb. Once they are born, they are referred to as a child, which establishes their importance despite their young age. This type of view on birth is especially important to address today, as it is a controversial topic.

The unchanging attribute of God.
