Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching from Matthew 20.1-16 is to remember that God has a plan for each of us and His love and mercy are available to us all, regardless of our station in life. We should use this passage as an opportunity to reflect on how we treat others; do we show them the same respect and kindness that we would like to receive? Are we humble enough to accept help and assistance from those in lower positions than us? Do we recognize the value of every person regardless of their social or economic standing? Finally, we should strive to serve one another with humility, recognizing that ultimately, we all have much in common and are each worthy of love and grace.
