Subject: Is God really just? |
Bible Note: Mat 20 When the workers who had "borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day" saw the landowner paying the one-hour workers a full day's wage, they thought in terms of justice. "If the one-hour workers deserve a full day's wage, how much more will the full-day workers get!" But they were wrong. The landowner was not paying the one-hour workers what was just. He was paying them what was generous. So, naturally the full-day workers were disappointed when they received only a day's wage. But the landowner corrected their erroneous thinking. He paid the full-day workers what was just, what they had agreed to work for, and he paid the one-hour workers what was generous. He had done the full-day workers no wrong--translate, he had done them no injustice. (I'm not saying that this is the main point of the parable, just a point) Peace, Lionstrong |
