Masks of Clay Only - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Like masks of clay only
the differences between us
false grounds to claim another unworthy
when we all carry our sin

Only when we come to Jesus
accept his saving grace
only then are we worthy
to come before our God

Working in the vineyards
in the fields of the Lord
our humbly response only
to the grace given by God

Nothing we can do to earn heaven
to life in eternity
all of us like our neighbor
needing Christ to be restored

sermon, "Grumbling about Grace"
by Rev. Frank Gulinello
“Jesus’ parable of the laborers in the vineyard is about
a gracious God whose grace is extraordinarily and
excessively extravagant. Sometimes the
amazing grace of God causes us to grumble because
it seems to be unjust and not fair in our view of the way life should be.”
