Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost (Year B) - 10/13/24
Manage episode 444000768 series 2775621
We have a lot of stuff. Compared to most of the world, those capable of listening to podcasts are doing quite well. We often, however, do not think of ourselves as wealthy. After all, some are much more affluent than us. We don't have private planes, yachts, or entourages. So, how do we read Jesus' remark, "Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me" (Mark 10:21)? Jonathan and Seth discuss the difficulties with this text. They consider how they've heard it interpreted to make it more palatable. They end by praying for help living into this teaching as people with a lot of stuff.
We're thrilled you're with us! This week's episode raises a lot of questions. I'll pose a few more here: how can one know they have many possessions? How does someone earnestly trim what they have? What do we own that helps us follow Jesus? How do we decide what to buy next? This text raises innumerable questions; we've only scratched the surface in the episode, but hope you'll continue asking them even after the episode ends.
