The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is a parable of Jesus In Matthew 20:1–16, Jesus says that any "laborer" who accepts the invitation to the work in the vineyard, no matter how late in the day, will receive an equal reward with those who have been faithful the longest. This parable stresses God's unmerited grace, rather than any sense of "earning" God's favour. Listen to this message on Kingdom Labour. God bless you.
