Graceonomics: Wages

In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard owner who pays every worker the same wage, whether they showed up at dawn or five in the afternoon, and asks us to sit with how unfair that feels before we rush to the moral. We talk about why comparison is the thief of joy, how it keeps us focused on what we don't have and on ourselves instead of the kingdom, and what it looks like to trust that God's grace was never meant to be fair in the first place. If you've ever looked at what someone else got and felt like you'd been shorted, this one's for you.
