There’s More Than One Pie
Episode description
There’s More Than One Pie
“You bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.” - from Galatians 5:15
In the previous verse, Paul reminds us that, “the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Paul’s metaphor of biting and eating one another is the contrast to loving one another.
Do we see life as more of a competition or as more of a cooperation? If we see life primarily as a competition, we think of it like a single pie. There’s only so much to go around. A larger slice for me, by necessity means a smaller slice for someone else.
If we see life primarily as a cooperation, we understand that the bakery has the capacity to make more pies. No one has to do without. The bakery must be kept fully stocked and in good working order. The recipes must be carefully curated and followed.
If we understand that we are more like workers in a bakery than we are contestants in a pie eating contest, everyone is going to get enough to eat.
