God’s economy is not based on human effort but is instead entirely fueled by divine grace. In the provocative Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard, Jesus shows God gracious generosity to those who need him and respond to his call to the kingdom. This is particularly encouraging for those who feel that God’s grace has passed them by. Jesus is clear that far from that, grace is for those who most don’t deserve it think they have missed it. Grace is sweetest when it surprises those who think there is no hope.
