Chap 9 – The Workers in the Vineyard

This sermon is included to illustrate what must be done to cope with obvious errors that force themselves on our attention.  I suggest that we tackle them boldly.  If Mathew didn’t understand the parable, say so – and build on that.

So also, we really took the scalpel to the other parables in Matthew – and to bible stories in general.  It is true that some of Jesus parables are cryptic.  The story of the Widow’s Mite (Mark 12:38-44) is a case in point.  Did Jesus commend the poor widow for her generosity, or did he condemn the system that left her destitute?

And what about the Parable of the Talents – is it simple or is it complicated?

Every passage is a challenge.
