Approach: Reading about the owner calling the laborers in the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard and God calling Jonah.

Hermeneutic objective: Carefully observing the status of the characters involved and their purpose.

Theological objective: When God / Jesus calls, it may be with the sense of invitation or a summon.

Non-Believers are alienated from God. When God / Jesus calls, it is an invitation to restore a relationship with God.

Believers serve God. When God / Jesus calls, it is a summon to do something for God.
