This is a profound and sobering reflection on the shift in the "economy of blessing" between the Old and New Testaments. It touched on a tension that many modern believers find uncomfortable: the move from tangible, earthly rewards to spiritual, eternal realities. ​It highlights that the "blessing" of the New Covenant isn't an exemption from the human condition, but a transformation within it.
