-
In a parable that draws our minds to fairness and merit, Jesus compels us to address how money affects our neighbors and neighborhoods.
-
Wealth, hard work, and fairness are all tangled up in our imagination. This blinds us to our impact on the experiences of others.
-
Our sense of what is right is linked to our sense of responsibility. This doesn’t always lead to the best decisions or expectations.
-
Jesus’s teachings on marriage, children, and wealth are a reminder of our weakness and how God’s dream is actually arranged.
-
Our brains start with the wrong presumption. Forgiveness, not punishment, is the starting place for dealing with our neighbors.
-
We think of leading and following as separate and independent. This leaves us exceptionally unable to properly follow good leaders.
