Matthew narrates one of Jesus\u2019 controversial parables in which Jesus says that the
\nreign of God is like that of a landowner who pays his workers the same wage no
\nmatter what time of day they began to work. When God changes God\u2019s mind about
\npunishing Nineveh for their evil ways, Jonah is angry. Yet God is gracious and
\nmerciful, abounding in steadfast love. In baptism we receive the grace of God that is
\nfreely given to all. As Martin Luther wrote, in the presence of God\u2019s mercy we are
\nall beggars.<\/p>\n
