Economy

"We are fools for Christ," 1 Corinthians 4:10.

Here it is again, lest we forget. God's economy has no connection with earth's way of doing things. People speak of economic systems, you know, capitalism, socialism, communism, or whatever. All these are worldly plans having a common goal: to bring prosperity to their respective adherents. Some plans do a better job of it than others. Nonetheless, none of these follow God's economy. His economy begins with the notion of giving (what folly!), not of getting. Grace bestows undeserved life. And his fool preachers proclaim that against this greedy, miserly world.

We meet with a brother or sister today receivers of God's unmerited generosity. And together we return thanksgivings for Jesus who foolishly gave us all he had.
