Matthew 20:1-16 The Parable of the Generous Boss
Monday Sep 25, 2017
Monday Sep 25, 2017
In Matthew 20, Jesus tells what is often known as 'the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.' It might be better named 'the Parable of the Generous Boss' as the employer is the main character - the one who shows deep compassion for those who haven't been hired, and is generous with his own money.
This parable has strong Christological links and shows us that the end of the day, God is just, God is gracious, God honours us and deals with our shame, and God is compassionate. At the end of the day, God is generous!

In Romans 13:14, St Paul writes 'Clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ...'
This is about 'getting into the character of Christ' - and it happens in three main areas of our life: our believing, our behaving, and our belonging - or in our thoughts, our actions, and our community.
This sermon explores what it means to 'get into the character of Christ' and where the power for Christian living comes from. The sermon can be enhanced by viewing the Prezi zooming visuals at this link.
