Matthew 20:1-2 *There’s a first for everything, I suppose. Yesterday, for the first time, I evidently had a technical difficulty. I am pretty sure I know what happened, and I think I can prevent it. Needless to say, although I did post yesterday, the post was deleted.
1: Many of the parables of Christ in connection with the kingdom have much to do with business.

He gives the tools and resources, and we do the work.
2: The landowner specifically agrees with the hired workers for a penny a day. This was the standard wage for a day of labor, the Roman denarius. It was worth more than a ‘penny’ and was exactly what these workers would normally expect to make in a day.
