What is the most frustrating of all the Lord’s parables? Isn’t it the parable of the workers hired late? We find it exasperating because workers who labor for a mere hour receive the same wages as those who toil all day. It makes us fixate on the injustice.
But isn’t there something even more interesting/compelling in the parable for us to pay attention to?
