“The
less we want to have, the less we need to have. This fact is itself one of the
blessings God offers, with compound interest. The less we need to have, the
less we need to fear. The less we need to fear, the more we know that a life of
giving allows us always to live, not on the brink of destruction, but on the
brink of blessing, where we can more readily hear the promise that the ‘Son of
Man is coming at an unexpected hour,’ desiring not to punish but to bless.” (Audrey
West, Feasting on the Word: Preaching the Revised Common Lectionary, Year C,
Volume 3: Pentecost and Season After Pentecost 1, Propers 3-16).
