Only Nothing is Enough

from Speakeasy Theology Hosted by Chris EW Green

Unscripted reflections on the texts for this coming Sunday. These two widows—the widow who gives her last coins, the widow who gives her last cake—enact for us the truth of the cross, embodying the wisdom of the God of Jacob, and revealing the blessedness that belongs only to the poor in spirit. They teach us that the only way in which we can help anyone, including ourselves, including God, is by owning (!) the fact that all we have to give is nothing—and that this is the very best news, because our God, the God of Jacob, is, as the Psalm declares, the God who creates from nothing.
