This is a powerful opportunity for us as Christians to be remind ourselves of the teaching of the firstfruits. God wants us to pause at the beginning of our blessings. He wants us to trust, and give back.
How can we start working spiritually? We’re beginning to focus on things we might have pursued instead of the abundant life God has to offer, and one of those things is work.
The “rich and satisfying life” that Jesus comes to proclaim isn’t just for the future, it is also for “now.” He doesn’t tell people to just sit and wait until they die. The gospel is about life.
