Sermon for 9/24/2023 

“It’s practically free”

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 and/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.
