Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard - Matthew 20:1-16

We welcome Mr. Roy Kim to our pulpit while Pastor Paul Lindemulder enjoys a week off. In Matthew 20:1-16, Jesus tells the parable of the workers in the vineyard. This parable challenges our sense of fairness and exposes the radical nature of God's grace. A vineyard owner hires workers at different times throughout the day, yet pays them all the same wage. Those hired first grumble, feeling cheated, but the owner reminds them that he gave them exactly what he promised. God's grace is unearned and generous—It's not based on merit or how long we've worked. Those who arrive late (like the thief on the cross) receive the same reward as lifelong believers because salvation is a gift, not a paycheck. Our pride blinds us to grace—The first workers represent those who feel entitled to more because of their perceived efforts. Their complaint shows a heart that values comparison and fairness over gratitude. Ultimately, this parable flips human values upside down. It invites us to rejoice in the generosity of God, rather than resent it, because none of us deserves his grace in the first place.

In Matthew 20, Jesus tells a parable of a master who hires laborers to work in his vineyard. Although they agreed to work for a fair wage, those who worked the longest were upset to find that those who worked the least received the same pay. What does this parable teach us about the kingdom of heaven and how we should view the blessings that God bestows on us? Listen as Pastor Caleb preaches on Matthew 20:1-16.

In Matthew 19, Peter asked Jesus a question about rewards for those who had sacrificed for him. Jesus then discussed rewards and noted that the values of God's kingdom are opposite those of the world, which leads right into this parable in Matthew 20.

What must you do to earn your way into heaven? How “good” do you have to be? Those are questions that many people ask. But in this parable, Jesus gives an answer that most people don’t expect or understand. It’s nothing that you do. It’s all by the grace of God.

Matthew 21:33–46 The Parable of the Tenants [33] “Hear another parable. There was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a winepress in it and built a tower and leased it to tenants, and went into another country. [34] When the season for fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to get his fruit. [35] And the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. [36] Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them. [37] Finally he sent his son to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.' [38] But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.' [39] And they took him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. [40] When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?” [41] They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” [42] Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? [43] Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruits. [44] And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” [45] When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he was speaking about them. [46] And although they were seeking to arrest him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet. (ESV)

As we hear the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, our hearts should be drawn to the conclusion in which the wicked are cast out for those who will provide the fruit to the master. We are called to good works by the power of the Holy Spirit, works that the Father has prepared beforehand for us. How do we respond to these called out of us works? Do we resist? Or do we receive the work of the Spirit to enable us to fulfill God's callings upon us?Image: The Red Vineyard or Red Vineyard at Arles, Vincent van Gogh, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons.

In this re-telling of Jesus' Parable of the Vineyard (Matthew 20), Ronnie connects Woody Guthrie with C.S. Lewis, apple picking with communism, and gives a shout out to both Disney World and Ann Rand. He concludes: "The kingdom of God is not about fairness. It's not about justice or earning what is rightfully yours. It's not about what's in it for you. The kingdom of God is only for the asking. It is about grace - all about grace - and nothing else."

Today's parable isn't trying to give us a  lesson about increasing workplace productivity. Instead, it's trying to teach us about the logic of the kingdom of heaven. What is it like being a part of God's kingdom?Support the show

ONLINE 2023The Master's VineyardMatthew 21:33-46Ben KnisleyAugust 20 2023

Jesus speaks this parable in order to teach the disciples about the grace of God's kingdom as opposed to the earned status of human kingdoms. Matthew 20:1–16 Laborers in the Vineyard [1] “For the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard. [2] After agreeing with the laborers for a denarius a day, he sent them into his vineyard. [3] And going out about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the marketplace, [4] and to them he said, ‘You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' [5] So they went. Going out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour, he did the same. [6] And about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing. And he said to them, ‘Why do you stand here idle all day?' [7] They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.' He said to them, ‘You go into the vineyard too.' [8] And when evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last, up to the first.' [9] And when those hired about the eleventh hour came, each of them received a denarius. [10] Now when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more, but each of them also received a denarius. [11] And on receiving it they grumbled at the master of the house, [12] saying, ‘These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.' [13] But he replied to one of them, ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong. Did you not agree with me for a denarius? [14] Take what belongs to you and go. I choose to give to this last worker as I give to you. [15] Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?' [16] So the last will be first, and the first last.” (ESV)

From this we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But by going out they made it plain that none of them belongs to us.It is the last hour (v.18).John is stressing the theological urgency of the situation, more than the chronological nearness of the end of the world.At any rate, all disciples must always be ready for the end; Jesus promised he would come as a thief.The precise meaning of the “last hour” (v.18) is difficult to pin down.Maybe it refers to the end of the world. This view is not without obvious difficulties; it does, however, follow on smoothly from verse 17. If this is correct, are we still in the last hour? Did it come and go, or are we still “on stand-by” till the end?Some hold that it refers to the final years before the Destruction of Jerusalem (Matthew 24), in which case these were the final days of Judaism, or Christianity within Judaism—enjoying imperial protection. Things were to heat up considerably for the Christians after 70 AD!Perhaps it alludes to the last hour in the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:12), and thus refers to the influx of Gentiles into the church. Could the Holy Spirit be revealing that, for the Christians in Asia Minor, persecution might soon eradicate the faith in that part of the world? In other words, it's the “last hour” locally, not globally, for these disciples.Or maybe this is a reference to Paul's prophecy in 2 Timothy 4:3.Or yet again to Jesus' oracle (Matthew 24:12-14, 24). Many passages speak of disciples being led away from the truth.The antichrist (v.18) is not necessarily one evil individual.Many antichrists have come.They were denying the teachings of Christ and sacrificial lifestyle demanded of his followers.They also denied the incarnation.For more on antichrist, listen to the podcast on The Antichrist. (Login required.)"They went out from us" and "did not really belong to us" (v.19).This doesn't necessarily mean they never belonged. Rather, their decisions and beliefs were (or became) contrary to correct Christian teaching.Possibly these Gnostics have Jewish roots and “went out” (v.19) from the church to return to the synagogue, to escape persecution. The false prophets (4:1-6) would likely have permitted their adherents to worship in their own way, even if that meant a return to established religion (Judaism). But, there's no way to be saved apart from the truth of Christ—and the Christ of truth (2:23).20 But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and all of you have knowledge. 21 I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and you know that no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; everyone who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 Let what you heard from the beginning abide in you. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, then you will abide in the Son and in the Father. 25 And this is what he has promised us, eternal life.What is the "anointing" (v.20)? The false teachers whom John is refuting claimed that extra, esoteric, mystical knowledge was necessary in order to fully apprehend the truthDenying Jesus is the Christ (v.22) isn't to affirm you are a non-Christian. The claim -- in context -- is the denial that the earthly, fully human Jesus is the Christ (Messiah, or anointed one).26 I write these things to you concerning those who would deceive you. 27 As for you, the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and so you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, abide in him.Gnosticism was a highly speculative religion/philosophy. John counters by affirming that all Christians already have the truth.Of course no one has "all knowledge" (1 Cor 13:2).We have no need for anyone to teach us the gospel all over again, or and add to it. Our Christian foundation was not defective.The “anointing” (v.27) refers to the original, pristine, apostolic doctrine which is both immutable and inimitable.Jesus had promised that the Spirit would see to that (John 14:26 and 16:13). We need no teacher to explain the real faith to us, because we've already been taught, through the apostles.Therefore no one needs to teach us the truth; we learned it when we first came to know the Lord. Jeremiah 31:34, with Hebrews 8:10-11, continues this thought. The claim that God did not come in the flesh is gravely wrong (v.22ff).Verse 21 shows that “knowing the truth” is equivalent to “receiving the anointing” (2:20, 27).The liar rejects the sufficiency of this “anointing.” He denies that Jesus is the Messiah (the Anointed One).The liar's teaching is counterfeit; it resembles the genuine article, but up close its cheapness and uselessness become evident.In Isaiah 61:1, anointing refers to the Messiah. It is not right, in my opinion, for a modern-day preacher to claim to have God's "anointing" on him in an exclusive way. 28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who does right has been born of him.We should feel “confident and unashamed” (v.28) when we understand the power of Christ's cleansing blood (1:7-2:2).See 3:19-21 for the continuation of this thought.Ironically, the false teachers were also confident (arrogantly so) and unashamed (though they should have been).John also reminds us that true Christians not only “talk right,” they also “walk right” (v.29).Back to the Docetists:Their sinful lifestyle confirms that their prophets are false (Matthew 7:15-20).Whether they'd (initially) crossed from death to life is irrelevant; they were now living for themselves.When we live for self, the Bible says, we're dead even while we live (1 Timothy 5:6).God's true children ("born of him") live righteously, in the light.Thought questions:Am I easily influenced by novel and attractive doctrines? (See also Ephesians 4:14 and Hebrews 13:9.)“Confident and unashamed” (v.28) -- does this describe my walk with Jesus Christ? If I were to be ushered into his presence now, how would I feel?

We look at the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20), in the context of the preceding conversation of the rich man and the kin-dom of heaven, and explore the possibility that Jesus is more concerned with justice than fairness.

How Is Your Vineyard - Matthew 13.3-9 - Joe Baiano

Justin Perdue

Today, we're exploring what it means to “search the scripture” as a means of grace.  When we search the scripture, we do so to encounter God. We can encounter God in prayer, in creation, in worship, in community, and yes, in the scripture. Encountering God in scripture is one of the primary means of grace.  Encountering God As you consider the means of grace and encountering God in scripture, questions emerge. In other words, when we search the scripture, we explore the text. Searching the scripture opens you to the context and nuances of the Bible. Most of all, it points you to the image of God. Searching the scripture helps us to see that each dialogue, prose, or poem invites us to encounter God in different ways.    Searching the Scripture Here are a few questions to explore as you search the scriptures. This is not a linear checklist. Instead, these are questions to ask as you seek to encounter God and live as one of God's beloved: What is this passage saying about God? What is the scripture saying about humanity? What is the scripture saying to the church or to the ministries that I am a part of? How will I respond? Why Search the Scripture? In short, understand why you were searching the scriptures. It's to encounter God. We hope this episode reminds you that encountering God in scripture leads to a transformed heart and life. Throughout this whole series, be reminded that the means of grace are ways to encounter God's love so we can be transformed into the image of God. When we search the scripture, we're encountering the love of God.

All throughout the stories of Jesus, Jesus is traveling from place to place proclaiming, "Turn around because the Kingdom of Heaven is here!"  His whole message was built around this idea of "the Kingdom."  But what is the Kingdom?  What is it like?  Who gets to be in it?  How do I know if I'm in it?  We're going to be taking the bulk of the spring of 2022 to explore what Jesus teaches us on the Kingdom! 

This lengthy parable is found only in the gospel of Matthew. Jesus tells the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) in response to Peter's question in Matthew 19:27: "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Peter wanted to know what reward would be given to those who give up everything to follow Jesus. In response, Jesus explains this truth about the kingdom of heaven. Let's dive into this parable today together and see!
