Assuming you’re referring to Matthew 20:1-16, I think it’s about two things.
1. An instruction not to be jealous or resentful of others. Most prominently to not be resentful of those who are latecomers to God, especially if you’ve been following Christ and working for His kingdom for many years, but I do think more generally as well.
2. The sanctity of contracts and agreements. Each one of the workers agreed to the offer presented, both those who were hired in the early morning and those hired at the eleventh hour and they all received what they agreed to. Verses 13-15 especially highlight this.
Hope you’re having a blessed day!
