Payday Is Coming: We can clearly see, we have two options. To stay with the same employer we are all born with- Sin, Satan, and the World. Or, we can switch our employers to that One which pays with eternal life for those who will get to the work we are called for. If we try to sit out during the work hours, we will be punished by the Owner of all things. Jesus requires all saved by His precious blood to rise up and get to work, and do not stop until death or His return.

John 8:44 “You are of the Devil as father, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.”

(12) And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who shall give you that which is your own? (13) No servant can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

(16) You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.

- Let’s Read It In Context (Paying on the curve Part 1)
Luke 12:42-48 “The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times? (43) Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes. (44) Truly I tell you, that he will set him over all that he has. (45) But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken, (46) then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him, and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful. (47) That servant, who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare, nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, (48) but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.”

- This Is Modern Christianity
People accept Jesus and get baptized. Call Him Lord and Savior. Then they forget their calling and their marching orders.
Matthew 21:28-31 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’ (29) He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went. (30) He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’ m going, sir,’ but he didn’t go. (31) Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom before you.”

- To Have Accepted The Contract And Fail In the Calling Is Disastrous
2 Peter 2:20-22 “For if they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the full knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and are again entangled, they have been overcome by these, their last things are worse than the first. (21) For it would have been better for them not to have fully known the way of righteousness, than fully knowing it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them. (22) But the word of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog turning to his own vomit; and, The washed sow to wallowing in the mire.”
Hebrews 10:26-31 “For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. (28) He who despised Moses’ Law died without mercy on the word of two or three witnesses. (29) Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy of punishment, the one who has trampled the Son of God, and who has counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? (30) For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, says the Lord.” And again, “The Lord shall judge His people.” (31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Matthew 24:48-51 “But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delays His coming, (49) and shall begin to strike his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken, (50) the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he does not look for Him, and in an hour which he does not know. (51) And He shall cut him apart and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

- The Same Goes For The Faithful
Matthew 24:42-47 “Therefore watch; for you do not know what hour your Lord comes. (43) But know this, that if the steward of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through. (44) Therefore you also be ready, for in that hour you think not, the Son of Man comes. (45) Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord has made ruler over His household, to give them food in due season? (46) Blessed is that servant whom his Lord shall find him doing so when He comes. (47) Truly I say to you that He shall make him ruler over all His goods.”

When Jesus Cuts The Checks For Your Labor
Payday is coming
The payment you receive from Satan is pain, suffering, and rebellion. Most don’t mind this, as they are fed a steady diet of their lust and desires. They think it’s better to get what I want now, even if it hurts later. This is best thought of as food in the break room of life. Jesus tells you it’s spoiled, don’t eat it. Satan says if you eat it, you will get all you want. It will always leave you with an upset stomach. Yet, this is not the payday. Jesus cuts the checks on payday. Jesus will line up the workers before Himself and proceed to review the outcome of the investment of their time: some to everlasting life, some to everlasting destruction.

Revelation 22:11-16 “He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still.” (12) “Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. (13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. (14) Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. (15) Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. (16) I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star.”

Paying On The Curve
Luke 19:12-27 “Therefore He said, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive a kingdom for himself, and to return. (13) And He called his ten servants and delivered ten minas, and said to them, Trade until I come back. (14) But his citizens hated him. And they sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this one to reign over us. (15) And when he had received his kingdom and had returned, then it happened that he commanded these servants to be called to him; the ones to whom he had given the silver; so that he might know what each had gained by trading. (16) And came the first, saying, Lord, your mina has gained ten minas. (17) And he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you have been faithful in a least thing, have authority over ten cities. (18) And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina has made five minas. (19) And he said the same to him, You be over five cities. (20) And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is your mina, which I have kept in a handkerchief. (21) For I feared you, because you are a harsh man. You take up what you did not lay down, and you reap what you did not sow. (22) And he said to him, I will judge you out of your own mouth, wicked servant! You knew that I was a harsh man, taking up what I had not laid down and reaping what I did not sow. (23) And why did you not give my silver on the bank table, and coming I might have exacted it with interest? (24) And he said to those who stood by, Take the mina from him and give it to him who has ten minas. (25) And they said to him, Lord, he has ten minas. (26) For I say to you that to everyone who has, more will be given. And from him who has not, even that which he has will be taken from him. (27) But those who are my enemies, who did not desire that I should reign over them, bring them here and slay them before me.”

Warning To The Sloth Filled Laborer
Revelation 3:14-22 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Head of the creation of God, says these things: (15) I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I would that you were cold or hot. (16) So because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. (17) Because you say, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing, and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, (18) I counsel you to buy from Me gold purified by fire, so that you may be rich; and white clothing, so that you may be clothed, and so that the shame of your nakedness does not appear. And anoint your eyes with eye salve, so that you may see. (19) As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten; therefore be zealous and repent. (20) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him and he with Me. (21) To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame and have sat down with My Father in His throne. (22) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
