Workers in the Vineyard | Period 7 Group 4
Historic Facts | Josh
In the Eastern village, there's a specific corner where unemployed people wait for people who need help. It's a humiliating position to be.
Jesus teaches us to be humble and serve others in this story.
Middle East Landowners were called "gentleman farmers" and they hired managers to give instructions to the dayworkers.
" For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the landowner who went to go and hire workers for his vineyard." Matthew 20:1-2
Story Facts
5.We should not be jealous when God gives us something, but he gives the same to others, aren't we all sinners?
The Parable of the vineyard is a story with many lessons if you are open to them.
It teaches us about God and his generosity to those who will come to him receive the same because he is a fair and just God.
When those hired at 5pm came, they got a full wage. When those who were hired at 3pm came, they were jealous of those who were hired at 5 because they still got a full wage one of them said, they protested that the 5 pm workers only worked for an hour while they worked for the whole day in the heat.
Response: Friend, I haven't been unfair, Didn't you agree to work all day for the usual wage? Should you be jealous that I am kind to others?
Currency Facts
Even though the workers started at different times, they all earned the same pay.
God, in the position of the landowner, wants to teach us not to be jealous, because it doesn't matter when we turn to him.
it only matters that we do, because we realize he provides the best way to follow.
"He answered one of them, "Friend , I haven't been unfair! Take your money and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be jealous because I am kind to others?" Matthew 20:13- 15
In Jesus' time, there were multiple types of coins. In this story, the one day wage was one denarius. We don't know how much that coin could buy, so we can't really compare that coin to today's average daily salary.
