The parable itself is not primarily about economics. It is about God’s grace and the way He rewards people in His kingdom.

Jesus often used familiar earthly concepts to teach spiritual truths, and in this case, He describes a landowner paying workers the same wage regardless of when they started. The key lesson is that God’s grace is not based on human standards of fairness. Whether someone comes to faith early or late in life, God rewards them equally with salvation. Your post argues that because Jesus uses an economic example, it suggests that private property and individualism are “right, lawful, and good.” However, while the parable does acknowledge property rights as part of the story’s setting, the main point is about the generosity and sovereignty of God, not an endorsement of specific economic systems. But I appreciate your point.
