| Matthew 20:1-16 |
In today's Gospel Jesus tells a parable that does not seem fair. Some workers came to the vineyard and worked a full day, some a half-day, and some only a few hours; they each were paid a full day's wage.
We do not think as God thinks; this is Good News. God loves us radically and extravagantly no matter what we do. He has a plan for each of us and promises us that if we stay close to Him He will lead us to a life full of abundant joy. Certainly the God who made us knows what is best for us, right? Perhaps He even knows better than we do! We will be truly happy if we respond to God’s abundant love with a radical faith and trust in God.
Respond Today:
-When we are faced with difficulty, frustration or injustice, practice turning to God in prayer.
-Love someone radically in a way they might not deserve.
-Advocate for someone who is not receiving what is just.
