Jesus’s Stories: Understanding the Kingdom | Fairness vs. Goodness
from Resurrection City Church - St. Paul Minnesota · host Resurrection City Church
The idea of 'fairness' is woven into all of our lives. We learn rules of fairness as kids, and expect our hard work to pay off as we grow older. Even when we see someone's hard work not getting the reward it deserves, our anger about that proves the place we think fairness plays in the world. When someone gets something we think we deserve, we feel it's unfair and become jealous. In this parable, Jesus speaks to our notions of fairness and asks us to consider that God operates according to a different standard: goodness. He is simply good. In this message, Pastor Joel breaks it all down.
