Rev. Dr. W. Benjamin Boswell | Mark 5:21-42 “There’s not just enough to go around; there’s more than enough for everyone, there’s an abundance! There’s not enough for everyone’s greed, but there is enough for everyone’s need! History has shown us time and again that there will never be enough for everyone if we start with the rich and hope there’s enough left for the poor—or worse, expect it to trickle down. However, there will always be more than enough time, power, and healing to go around—if we prioritize the poor.” “… the ‘last shall be first and the first shall be last’ was not some pie in the sky vision of what the kindom will look like in the future. No, it is the rule of life for the followers of Jesus, the blueprint for the beloved community, the construction manual for the church, the instructions Jesus gave us for how to prioritize suffering and healing right now in the present at this point in history if we want the kindom of God to come on Earth as it is in heaven. The good news is that if we put the last first and the first last, then there will be enough for everyone and joy will abound for all.”
