Grace is a lousy bookeeper

This isn’t a rant about Redeemer's CPA. Her name is Teresa, and she’s exceptional. Every credit and debit, every receivable and payable meticulously accounted for. The books always balance.

I mean grace. Abundant, amazing grace. Grace that is greater than all our sin. God’s grace. That grace is a lousy bookkeeper.

Jesus tells a parable of grace in this week's Gospel reading, and candidly, the shoddiness of the bookkeeping is shocking...and makes some people downright angry.
