“Wait a Minute…That’s NOT Fair!”
In the Gospel reading for this Sunday Jesus told a parable about a generous landowner who needed the grapes in his vineyard picked. He hired some workers early in the morning and agreed to pay them the usual daily wage. At nine in the morning, noon, three and five in the afternoon, he hired more workers. When evening came, the landowner told his foreman to pay all the men the same wage. Those who had worked all day complained that they should receive more because they had worked longer. The landowner said the men who were complaining, “I paid you exactly what we agreed on. Don’t I have the right to do what I want to with my money?
God’s sense of justice is not controlled by human ideas of fair and unfair.
