There’s a saying attributed to Attila the Hun, a fifth century ruler infamous for his cruelty, which reads this way: For me to be happy, it’s not just important that I succeed; it’s also important that everyone else fails. I suspect that Atilla the Hun was not the author of that, but, no matter, there’s a lesson here.
If that is true, then we need to ask ourselves why we so frequently tend to withhold God’s Spirit from others in our judgments — particularly in our religious judgments. We are blind to the fact that, sometimes, there’s a little of Attila the Hun in us. Well, we aren’t the first disciples of Jesus to think this way and to be challenged by Him in our Attila the Hun proclivities. This is in fact a large part of the lesson in Jesus’ parable regarding an over-generous landowner who paid everyone the same generous wage no matter how much or how little each had worked.
Notice that Jesus addresses the one making the complaint as ‘friend”. That’s a designation for us, we, the ones who are faithfully doing the full day’s work. Note His tone is warm and soft.
