In this follow on sermon from last week, Jonathan returns again to Jesus' "difficult" words about our blindness to greed and our need to learn how to live open handedly when it comes to sowing for the kingdom. While it is true that some giving produces a clear and direct feedback loop of receiving, there is another kind of giving which the Bible affirms; one which is shocking and scary – the scattering of gifts – and yet when we look at the life of Jesus we see that this too is a path toward "the life that is truly life" (1 Tim 6:19). He wont lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on us, and yet at the same time he holds out his hand and says follow me into places where we would not ordinarily go.
