This articulation is what drives the listeners and learners of this parable to think about themselves and communicate in pure relation to the Kingdom of God, what they deserve, what others deserve, and how rewards work in the Kingdom of God. Then, the unconscious theory of Jesus’ listeners and learners was that God was like the powerful men of the society who rewarded employees in proportion to their finished work. So, the theme of this parable is much like Paul’s highlighting on communicating this justification by God’s grace through faith in Christ Jesus when becoming the Righteous of God in Christ
