Well I think we see that in the parable of the prodical son. It is a parable as much as the wild son as the "obedient" other brother and his resentment of getting the same reward for his faithfulness.
Also in the parable of the owner of the vineyard that hired men at the beggining middle and end of the day and paid them all the same wage, because that is what was the agreed price and the OWNER has chosen what price to offer.
Yes the battle of my will and flesh vs. Gods grace. I am sure we will be humbled when we review the game films and he shows us how much grace we actually needed to be there.
Yup!
WF, it was the parable of the Prodigal Son that came to my mind, too.
Luke 15: 11-32.
