Really enjoyed this Ross. It's stories that confuse us and push against our commonsense that give us insights into facets of God and following Jesus which we would otherwise miss.

It reminds me a little of how my grandfather speaks about tithing - that if you see it as money paying for a service or toward the upkeep of a building or institution, you're missing the point. If there was a bottomless pit where you could throw your money every week and you never saw it again, but you knew that's what God had commanded you to so, then you should do it. The point is the sacrifice, not the maximised utility of your money.
