How do we buy what’s been given?
Without price.
How do we buy what’s is given?
Interestingly, Laodicea thinks it has everything and in fact has nothing. So Jesus makes that the price. To give up something you value, when in truth is valueless. It is not a universal application. It was for Laodicea. It is, if anything else, an affirmation of what we have freely received. But if humanity adds to the transaction, to return to the truth, it must give up what it added.
I know the Lord doesn’t care about stuff and junk. Even in Laodicea, stuff and junk included their church and it’s structure. Jesus appealed to every individual in it to relocate their heart. It truly has no means of exchange involved. Spiritually, how can you trade upon what is freely received, freely given? Carnally, what molecules do I “own” that aren’t truly the Lord”s? How can I create a system of exchange with him when everything is his? Only in my mind.
I got a lot out of this. Others as well. Just taking a minute this time.
Love the way you phrase some things.
“Here is the doctrine in embryo: distrust of the invisible promise, and reliance on what hands can make and walls can hold.”
‘To give up something you value, when in truth is valueless.‘
Just costs the heart attitude
‘Buy” means “in the marketplace”. Looking for it. I seek Gold tried in the fire, not shadows.
Thanks Mark. I am “retired” now, so I have a lot of time to think and read. Years ago I read an article about how in some places they eat monkeys like we would chicken. They use a coconut shell tethered to a tree with a short line. They make a hole in the shell. It is large enough for the monkey’s hand to enter. They put a little bit of rice in the shell. A monkey will grasp the rice and absolutely not let go. The problem is, his fist won’t fit through the hole. They simply walk up to the monkey and club it to death…with his little bit of rice still in his possession. I have never forgotten the article.
