God's Vineyard, Our Reward
Commentators like Spurgeon and Gill see this verse as a picture of our relationship with Christ. Our life is a 'vineyard' that belongs to the 'greater Solomon,' Jesus. He deserves the primary glory and fruit (the 'thousand'). Yet, as faithful keepers or ministers who tend this vineyard, we are promised a generous reward for our labor (the 'two hundred'). This affirms that all who work for Christ will be immeasurably blessed.
