Reimagine

Scripture calls us to reimagine a world where our social and economic systems are not built to disparage or

impoverish, but instead to provide for and benefit all. This week we revisit the story of the widow’s mite.

Instead of commending the widow’s giving practices, perhaps Jesus is condemning the economic system that

created her poverty. The Jewish practice of the Jubilee year invites us to imagine leaving the edge of the

harvest for the poor and immigrant to reap; in the fiftieth year, the harvest is shared and disparities are

rebalanced. In light of these stories in scripture, we are called to reimagine our own money stories.
