I have been leading a study of John’s Gospel at church. Something interesting occurred to me yesterday as we went through the fourth chapter.
Nicodemus, who is described as a Jewish ruler, comes to see Jesus. The gentile official, who hopes for his son to be healed, comes to see Jesus.
The woman at the well, the one who is a sinner with five former husbands and a live-in boyfriend, gets a different treatment.
Jesus comes to see her.
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
