[Propertalk] "It's almost free", a sermon for September 24, 2017, based on Matthew 20:1-16

[Joe Parrish]

"It's almost free" is a sermon for September 24, 2017, the first one at
<http://sjnj.com/media_view.php> http://sjnj.com/media_view.php and is based
on Matthew 20:1-16. 

 

The motivation of the landowner in Jesus' parable seems to be to make sure
every worker has at least the amount necessary for the survival of their
family for one day, an amount equal to one denarius.  Anything less than a
denarius of pay per day for a worker would mean the person's family would
either starve or become homeless.  So the seemingly unfair landowner is
indeed more focused on giving survivable income to all his workers, and he
disregards the grumbling of the jealous ones.

 

Peace and blessings,

Joe
