Evening: Psalm 138, 139; Luke 12:32-48
There is an individualistic theme in modern western culture that undermines community life. It goes like this … If you’re gifted, lucky you! That entitles you to privileges and rewards; the more gifted you are, the more comfortably you will live. Enjoy yourself! Jesus, on the other hand, points out a different path … Your gifts do not belong to you; they are not for sale, but for service. The more gifted you are, the more your rewards and blessings need to be found in the satisfaction of service. If you don’t like this teaching, maybe it’s especially for you!?
