Jesus of Nazareth was the greatest economist of all time.
We don't often think of Jesus as an economist, but a deep dive into His teachings reveals Jesus understood human nature/behavior better than ANYONE EVER!
Thats what economics is, it's essentially the study of human behavior.
Many of Jesus' parables us monetary language to illustrate eternal truths about God's Kingdom.
Jesus knew that the behavior of humans in relation to money, labor and value was more than just physical work. It goes to the core of who we are as God's Imagers.
This is why He says things like, "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls...." (Matthew 13:45) Because we have all been designed to seek out and attain things of value.
That internal need to acquire wealth and preserve value is pointing us heavenward. Why? Because earthly value is just the shadow of the one who CREATED all value.
In our modern times you could say, "The Kingdom of heaven is like a man seeking a #Bitcoin, and when he finds it, he sells all he has and buys it."
The Kingdom of God is like the BASIC principles of economics. Human behavior in light of scarcity. Its finding the most scarce and precious asset before anyone knows it the the most scarce and precious asset, selling all that is inferior, buying it, hodling it and never selling it!
Think about that! That is what the Kingdom is like! It's realizing that Christ is that precious, scarce asset, then selling everything, and hodling Him for ever!!!
Just like many don't realize the scarcity and value of #Bitcoin, many also can't see the scarcity and value of Jesus' salvation. It was His blood He shed. ONLY His blood could save us, the blood of the Son of God is very scarce. But His blood is of such value that it can save all who come to Him in faith.
The most scarce and valuable asset ever, the blood of the Lamb! It is precious.
Sell fiat and get #Bitcoin! Good trade deal. Give an ever inflating currency for a currency with a final supply.
Sell your sin and acquire eternal life in Christ! The Gospel is the greatest trade deal in the history of trade deals. Jesus gets my sin, I get His perfection.
What a deal, thank you Jesus!
