Over the next four weeks, we’ll listen to Jesus’ parables, those brief stories where ordinary life is set “side by side” with God’s life, and the difference reveals the truth. This Sunday we enter the vineyard and stand among the farm laborers. Soon we’ll hear of a father with two sons, a vineyard threatened by wicked tenants, and a wedding banquet filled with surprises. I’m looking forward to Sunday, when we’ll have a chance to ponder the wideness of God’s mercy.
