It Just Isn’t Fair

The teaching of Jesus is clear in today’s parable:
God is generous with his mercy, to lengths and depths beyond our imagination or comprehension.
Jesus teaches that God chooses to love everyone with the same love, the same mercy, the same generosity – in spite of when we show up for work, in spite of how we receive or reject his love.
It’s never a question of our “deserving” God’s love: none of us, not one of us deserves the mercy of God, – much less is there anything you and I could do to earn or merit God’s love.
God’s mercy and love are pure gift. And every one of us here this morning is, without exception, a beneficiary of God’s extravagant mercy. (Fr. Austin Fleming)
