The gospel is very clear about how we are to think/feel/act on our

relationship with money. We can try all we want to squirm out of it

(believe us we’ve tried) but Jesus told us to be like himself: not giving

out of surplus, not guilt, but being willing to give everything up. Where

we (all!) fall short on that, let’s now come back to the grace thing. Grace

is where every single thing in our christian lives must begin and end and

never ever run dry. It is not a doctrine, grace is a person, our only

answer, our only fuel, if we’re to be the kind of self-giving people we

know we want to be. So - as we take this moment to remember the kind of

church we know bread will be again - let’s make it about grace.
