The theology of eating out

Even in this more precarious economics times many of us seem to be able to find the money to eat out at least every once in awhile. We like to be able to reap the benefits of another's labor. The work of the Kingdom many times works in a rather similar fashion.

Jesus makes this kind of analogy in John 4:32-38. In this passage speaks to the fact that just because we are being allowed to reap the harvest does not mean that it was all us who were responsible for the harvest. So the next time you are at your favorite restaurant I want you to think about how much you are benefiting from another person's labor during that meal. At the same time I want us to consider how much we benefit from others when we reap that which they have sown.
