Reference

LENT 2 - Exodus 16:2-15; Matthew 19:23-20:16

The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is often misunderstood. But when we look at it in its broader context, including what we see in the Hebrew Bible, the point becomes clearer. If we allow ourselves to become dissatisfied, not only do we miss truly seeing what we've received through God's generosity, we then prevent ourselves from being in a position to serve others with that same generosity . . .
