To Produce Fruits
This is
the third vineyard parable that we listen to consecutively.
For the
first vineyard parable, we reflected on the privilege of working in God’s
vineyard. It is the vineyard owner
himself who continues to invite us, “Go into my vineyard.”
The
second parable affirmed the dignity that God has given to us. We are no longer hired laborers, but children
and heirs. Our inheritance is the
vineyard, given to us by God our Father.
And today’s
parable reminds us that the vineyard does not belong to us. God, in God’s generosity, has given it to us
as our inheritance. It is indeed a
privilege to work in God’s vineyard.
This privilege
comes with a responsibility, “to produce fruits.”
