Not a bother at all - I enjoyed that. I think he's spot-on, and I've even taught the same interpretation before. Jesus isn't exactly commending the possible theft there, but the wisdom of planning for the next phase of life, of doing costly things - even risky things, dangerous things - now that will benefit you later. (Contrary to Osteen: "Your Best Life THEN!") It reminds me somewhat of the forward-looking (or perhaps ultimate-looking) perspective in Paul's "bodily exercise is indeed profitable in this age, but godliness is profitable for both this age and the age to come." And, of course, Colossians 3 springs immediately to mind as well. 🤝
I have to say though, that I'm a little annoyed. I already don't have enough time for my current podcast list...now you've tempted me to add ANOTHER one?? Come on, bro 😅 -- jesting aside, I've caught clips of Pageau here and there for years, and have always found his 'takes' thought-provoking at the very least. I appreciated this very much!
