Jesus describes a vineyard owner who pays all workers the same wage, even those who were hired only an hour before the end of the day. Those workers who worked the entire day complain that the vineyard owner was being unfair to them! The story reveals that God will bless us on the basis of God's generosity, not on our merit (or lack of it). That is the scandal of grace. Jesus invites us all to rejoice in God’s generosity rather than trying to measure ourselves against one another.
