Celebrate! You've been unfairly treated (Matthew 20:1-16)
from Holy Word Sunday Sermons · host Holy Word Lutheran Church
Sunday message from 16 February 2025 on Matthew 20:1-16This week's sermon discusses the parable of the labourers in the vineyard. A landowner hires workers at various times and pays them all a denarius (a day's wage), causing the early workers to grumble. This is contrasted with Jesus' journey to Jerusalem, highlighting his unfair suffering and death. The story of Zacchaeus is used to illustrate Jesus' mercy towards the undeserving. God's generosity is undeserved and unfair and believers should recognize their place in God's family, despite unending shortcomings. The sermon concludes that we as Christians are given reason to celebrate that we are treated so unfairly.Michael HartmanStay connected with our church:WebsiteInstagramFacebookDiscover Hidden Gems on YouTube
