Some of the labourers complained about the wages they were given. No matter, since the Lord gave to each one the agreed amount - one denarius.

While serving as apostles in the middle of the world we find more than enough compensation. We are trying to love Christ and to serve him ever more faithfully as we seek new labourers to work for him. The Lord will never forget that service. We should keep in mind that the denarius itself is stamped with the image of the King
