Scandalous Grace

I love the scandalous grace Jesus sets forth in his provocative parable of the vineyard workers. Everybody got paid a day's wage. Everybody.

The vineyard owner was more interested in giving people what they need than paying people what they earned. God is like that. Jesus said so.

For those who wonder if God the Father at the core is unpredictable

God is like Jesus.
God has always been like Jesus.
There has never been a time when God was not like Jesus.
We haven’t always known this—
But now we do.
