3. Gambling on Grace - Brian Zahnd
Manage episode 311764169 series 3181149
Though Jesus never spoke the word “grace”, he embodies grace. And, as he came to fully reveal the Father, we, like the manager in Luke 16, can trust that he is a gracious God. The manager, like the son in the proceeding parable was “prodigal”—wasteful—and was fired because of it. He then preached the landlord’s graciousness to others, gambling everything on the idea that his boss would be gracious. This, Zahnd concludes is the heart of the parable, that “God will be to us as we preach him to the other.”
