I have often asked this question, If your faith became illegal, would there be enough evidence for your neighbor’s to convict you? This question is adapted from a question asked by John Wooden, a deeply religious basketball coach in 1997. This question highlights the deeper question about how much our faith impacts our daily life choices. I am reminded of this question when I reflect on the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard. This parable challenges our understanding of justice and mercy. It is a challenging parable. We may find ourselves more sympathetic to the workers who had worked all day and less so to those who only worked for an hour. I am reminded of the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-32. I have given workshops on forgiveness and have used this parable to describe God’s forgiveness. I have noticed however that many people are more sympathetic to the eldest son, the responsible one, the one who stayed home and worked in his father’s fields than the son receiving his father’s merciful forgiveness.
