The Setting of the Parable
Recuiting the Workers (1-7)
Paying the Workers (8-10)
A just complaint? (11-16)
The point of this parable is that God is free to be as generous as he wants. If he has chosen to be generous with you and me, to show his love for us, to save us, to accept us whatever our faults, and that is his decision, how will we respond? We should obviously welcome it. But it seems too good to be true, so we remain hesitant and skeptical at heart. Is that where you are, or do you embrace God's grace and love without hesitation?
