"This parable shows that there are no partial solutions. There is no possibility of helping out just for a moment, or pretending to work, or doing only part of the job. Yes must be yes, and it must be a complete yes to all the work that is required. No should remain no, but there is divine grace that in an instant can turn someone who has said no into a person who follows the Lord."
