More Musings on Redemption. And also Tomatoes.

In a previous life we were asked, "Why doesn't God immediately take believers to heaven when they are "saved"." And the expected and given answer was that we were here to get other people saved. But that's not our job, is it?

I think we're here to plant tomatoes. It's all written out there, just read it. God knew how broken this world was. He even knew how "broken-er" it was going to get. The little acts of redemption - Learn to do good. Seek Justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. Plant tomatoes. Pointing to Redemption.

It's not the "Social gospel". It's just the Gospel.
