Hook: Why are salaries such a sensitive topic among coworkers?

Book: Jesus gave this parable in the context of Peter’s previous question: What then will there be for us? (Matthew 19:27). The Lord wanted them to know that faith goes beyond service to trusting God to be fair with His rewards. The all-knowing and just God will be generous. Only the mind and heart of God could nuance all the factors in computing eternal rewards. This parable reveals the jealous and competitive spirit that disqualifies a person to judge others. Your role is to be faithful and trust God to do what is right.

Took: Why does jealousy make people doubt the fairness of God? How should God’s generosity toward others change your attitude?
