In ancient Greek culture there were very wealthy individuals who were called upon to act as patrons of the arts, specifically funding choirs, plays, and famous Greek tragedies. These patrons were known as choregos, and they were millionaires and billionaires of their day that were hand-picked by the State. They spared no expense out of their own wealth to hire the best singers, furnish the best costumes and sets, and put on the most lavish productions they could, all for the glory of the Greek empire.

Think about the awesome parallel that provides for Christians who have been chosen by God to receive the limitless wealth of His Holy Spirit so that they may spend their lives generously sharing God's spectacular power and love with a world so hungry for it! In the Bible in 2 Peter 1:5, Peter makes this exact parallel and instructs the earliest Christians to be "suppliers", "patrons", just like the choregos! Let's live lives of beauty and impact as we manifest and pour out the presence of God's Holy Spirit to the world around us!
