right and just
Wednesday
September 24th, Matthew 20: 1 "For the
kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire
men to work in his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay
them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. 3 "About the
third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing
nothing. 4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay
you whatever is right.' 5 So they went. First
notice that the landowner doesn’t wait for others to come to him, the Landowner
goes to the people and seeks them out.
Secondly, the wages were enough, not too much. It was not a matter of grabbing the golden
ring, it was simply what it took to get by for that day. The real gift was purpose in life rather than
standing around doing nothing. What was
offered was what the world as was right and just. But just in our eyes and just in God’s eyes can
sometimes be miles apart. I wonder why
is there no political conversation about that?
