Read Mt 21:28-22:14
We have been told that we live in an "ownership society" and are reminded again and again that we "only live once" and so we should "look out for number one." And when someone, first century rabbi or twenty-first century friend, reminds us that we are called not to be owners but stewards, not to hoard but to share, not to live primarily for gain but for love, we may, just like the folks in today's passage, feel rather offended.
How are you stewarding what God has given you? Are you using your resources to unleash the love of Jesus to help those in need? The shift from ownership to stewardship is not easy but is a hallmark of following Jesus.
Prayer: Jesus, give me the courage to love others sacrificially by being a good steward.
-Tomara
