We’ve all heard our children say it, “It’s not fair.” There have been times we’ve all felt it, if not said it. If we’re honest, there may be times we’ve believed God wasn’t being fair with us. In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a story where a vineyard owners hires workers at different hours of the day to insure that his crop is harvested in time. At the end of the day, instead of paying all the workers different amounts, he pays them all a full days’ wage. The cry of the workers hired at the first hour goes out, “It’s not fair.” Jesus is trying to tell us something important about God here. This is not about fairness as it is about justice and grace.
