Funny Money!
Paper money is just that—paper! Maybe you saw the recent ‘Frontline: World’ segment on Zimbabwe, where they have 1,000% inflation! Think about it: What cost $1 last year is now $1,000! It takes literally stacks of currency just to buy the basic necessities.
To a huge degree the entire world has accepted an illusion about ‘wealth.’ As the current worldwide financial crisis demonstrates, there is little of real value in the monetary system. Yet, we (for followers of Jesus are by and large just as involved in this fantasy as everyone else) continue to live lives based on fantasy! Yet in the first Century there were some followers of Jesus whose lives were radically different from the culture around them. They knew they were ‘set apart’ by God, and it affected the economy in which they lived! They learned that to live beyond yourself means you ‘Live Holy!’
May His Spirit enable you to live out who you are in Jesus—‘set apart!’
Pastor John Michael
