Season of Pentecost
The three parables of
Luke 15 (lost sheep, lost coin, lost son) portray a beautiful image of
God's economy, where there is always enough and mercy is the currency. Luke 16...well...not such much! In Luke 16 the shrewd get praised and the corrupt move ahead.
Pastor
Rob reflects on how Jesus calls us to be disciples "in" this world, a
world in which the shrewd are rewarded and money seems to be speak the
loudest. Yet we are called to be "of" a different kingdom, a different
economy, a place in which God's love provides enough for each person.
Being "in"
but not "of" this world is not at all an easy thing! A special shout
out to Stephen and Jodi Swanson for their work being "in" but not "of"
this world!
