Christian worship, centered on Word and sacrament, reminds me that my core identity is not that of a consumer: I am a worshiper and an image-bearer, created to know, enjoy, and glorify God and to know and love those around me. These anonymous kidney beans say that what mainly matters about me is the fact that I need to buy things to stay alive. But God knows the harvester of these beans and cares about justice. And God has made us not merely to consume but to cultivate, steward, and bless.
