I suspect that at one time or another most of us have uttered the words, 'This isn't fair?' Thankfully, God doesn't measure fairness the way we do, otherwise, our sin would stand out in stark contrast to what God would have us do. Instead, God reaches out to us with grace and mercy. This grace and mercy can be seen in the landowner described in Matthew 20, who called workers throughout the day. Many of those called were considered unworthy of being hired, but the landowner still hired them, and paid them equal to those who had worked the whole day. This landowner gives us a glimpse of what God's great love for us through Jesus looks like.

Matthew 20.1: “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard." (NRSV)
