(1) The Master Hires his Workers
What might a denarius be equal to in our day?
How many different shifts of workers has this master hired?
(2) The Master Pays his Workers
What is so strange about the amount that this man pays these workers?
(3) The Workers Complain to the Master
Why are the 12-hour workers so upset? How can you relate to their anger?
How does the master answer their complaint?
This parable emphasizes 2 important truths:
1 - Grace is shocking - Why might WE be bothered by the account of people like Rahab and the thief on the cross?
2 - Grace is sovereign - Is there any difference before God between someone like Timothy and the thief on the cross?
