This parable makes the condition of the human heart blatantly clear. We all believe we have "earned or deserve" God's goodness to us. This is NOT true. This is Not the gospel. Just because Jesus reveals Himself as a servant to all (v. 28), this does not make us the "masters who have earned that service."
Understanding the gospel is not to expect more from God, but rather to be extremely overwhelmed with His generosity. We have earned death. We deserve God's condemnation and judgement. We get salvation! What could be better than that?
