A young man blessed with many possessions in life walked away sad when Jesus said that wealth held him back. The Disciples had given up everything, and Peter asked what they would get out of it. Jesus talked about eternal life. In a parable, temporary workers who put in a full day expected more pay than those who had worked for merely an hour. Another tale described invited guests refusing to attend a wedding feast for the king’s son. Among people then invited off the streets, one skipped putting on a wedding garment (a robe a king would have provided). God keeps inviting, even when rebuffed by sinners. If we feel like griping to God about unfairness, would we do better to give thanks for His unfettered love and mercy?
