The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard


The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard shows the lesson of equality and mercy. The landowner offered one denarius, and the workers were grateful and willing to work for exactly that much. Those workers were apart of the first group of workers. However, when it came to the last group, who only an hour, opposed to the workers who worked all day, got paid the same amount. This is equality, however, not doing the workers in the first group justice. This relates to how Jesus offers mercy to whoever he chooses. Not only the ones who sins the least, or attends church the most. Whoever he chooses to provide his mercy.
