In Matthew 20, Jesus taught the Parable of the Workers. Many focus on the jealousy of the workers who worked all day.
Yes, those workers were jealous that the last workers were paid the same as them. But imagine the men hired at five in the afternoon. They had been waiting all day for work.
Their gratitude must have been immense when they were paid a full day’s wage for one hour of work. They were recipients of the landowner’s generosity.
To the complainers in Matthew 20:15, the landowner said, “Don’t I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?”
When you feel led to be generous, don’t be distracted by those who are jealous of your generosity.
