New Testament (1761)
  1. The parable, like a cubist painting, is disorienting. And finding a reasonable explanation is not going to make the disorientation go away.
  2. Jesus is ours not because we are climbing the right ladder in the right way. Jesus is ours because He has given Himself to us.
  3. Paul hits the nail on the head in this tour-de-force of alien righteousness teaching.
  4. The love of God here is amazing. Jesus warns them of God’s judgment in order that He might save them from sin.
  5. The Kingdom we have been planted in is not a scramble to the top, but a dive to the bottom, to serve, to receive, not to lord it over and acquire and do.
  6. For those who hear the Father’s Word of forgiving love in Christ, the “I will not” changes to an, “I will.”
  7. We expect God to be at least as fair our society. But that is not how God operates.
  8. The worthy life is not payment for citizenship. It is the life of a citizen who knows where home is... and who has built the house!
