Parables - Week Four/June 2, 2024/Glenn Barteau

In this fourth week of our Parables series, we read through the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16. All the workers get paid the same no matter how long they’ve worked. Jesus uses this illustration to show that our illusions of fairness can trap us into comparison and make us lose trust in God. If we focus on fairness we miss what we’ve already been given. The all-day worker and one-hour worker get paid the same, which reflects the heart of God more?
