Matthew 20:1 - 20:16
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this thought-provoking piece, Steve Gregg reflects on the parable of the laborers in Matthew 20:1-16. He highlights the employer's seemingly unfair decision to pay those who worked the shortest time first and goes on to explore the spiritual message behind the parable, focusing on the idea that God's dealings with humanity are not based on what is earned. While Gregg notes that the parable may not necessarily be aimed at teaching Christians not to strike against employers, he emphasizes the importance of honoring promises made to employees.
