As we continue our post-Easter series Reckless Love, we turn to what Psalm 103 and Jesus have to say about generosity. The psalmist remembers a God who forgives, heals, redeems, and crowns with steadfast love. Jesus tells his disciples to love their enemies, give without expecting anything back, and be merciful as God is merciful. This goes well past the point where most of us would stop. Bishop Tom Berlin calls it “lavish love,” and this week we ask what it means to receive that kind of love from God and to practice it with each other.
Scripture: Psalm 103:1-14; Luke 6:27-38 (NRSVue)
