This parable really can catch our attention. This teaching can even be frustrating.
It was harvest time, and the landowner went to town to hire workers early in the day. It was a bigger job than he first thought, so he went back to hire workers again at 9:00 am, at noon, at 3:00 pm and even at 5:00 pm. The he did the most unusual thing: he paid everyone the same wage--even those who worked only a short time at the end of the day.
The central thought is God is generous. And if God is generous, then we should be, too, especially with our attitude toward others. We may think that others have it better in life than we do. But should stop and evaluate: we too in our struggles have been given much.
So may we contineu to share Jesus' message to others, knowing that all are welcome and that the most unilikely people are the greatest asset to the church!
