The Parable of the Workers in the Vinyard - Part 2

I am presently following the parables as they have been recorded consecutively in the book of Matthew, apart from what are known as The Kingdom Parables that are found in Matthew 13. So this is the third major parable that Matthew recorded from the ministry of Jesus. This parable has proven to be somewhat difficult for many people to understand (accept?), because it doesn’t seem fair according to our “western” understanding of life. However, it does drive home in a powerful manner the point that Jesus intended to convey, and we must stay “on track” with His purpose in telling this story.
