In this episode we’ll bring you back to that emotional day last summer when he walked out of the San Quentin gates, free at last.

Jesus is appalled how the teachers of the law flaunt their wealth whilst devouring the houses of the widows. The use of manipulation to cajole and bully people to give, specially those with so little, is an affront to God.

In a world that generally says you can do whatever you want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone, Jesus goes further by teaching his disciples to actively initiate actions that will benefit others. In this way Jesus’ teaching is unique. The love of God is an active love. This is a key distinction between simply being a good person and being like Christ. It is relatively simple to lead a life that does not hurt others but leading a life of love and mercy towards others is much greater.…

His compassion for the outcasts, pariahs and unpopular; his disposition towards the socially unimportant, those deemed sinners, the poor, sick and excluded. The Scriptures labour over Jesus’ love for these people, recording at length the stories where he interacts with the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, the woman who had a bleeding disease, and the myriad crowds, children, beggars and broken that were drawn toward him.…
The Anabaptists refused violence, promoted local faith communities, rejected the excesses of wealth and cared for the poor, maintained the distinctiveness of the kingdom of God from the kingdoms of the world, and recognised the centrality of Jesus’ ethical teaching and practices for the faithful. I am not an Anabaptist in a strict sense as I have not historic or genealogical connection to the movement. But I am deeply inspired by the Anabaptist integrity to forsake power and peacefully follow the example of Jesus. I am proudly NeoAnabapt ~ish.…

Lire Plus Tard Lire Plus Tard Des listes J'aime AiméJesus proclaimed the prophetic message of Isaiah at his own inauguration, just as the prophets of our day bravely rebuke those in power, calling for grace and love rather than judgment and wrath. The kingdom of God that Jesus proclaimed was so scandalously gracious the Jews responded with violence. Jesus’ good news was for all the people they hated, all the wrong people. They wanted him to die for offending them. Their understanding of the Scriptures highlighted vengeance and not grace, dogma rather than mercy.…
Oddly the miracle at the Wedding of Cana wasn’t a healing, it was keeping the party going. Jesus revealed his glory by turning water into wine. Food and drink and joyful celebration are central to the expression of Christian faith. This year let’s eat more, drink more, and celebrate more!
He isn’t avoiding us; he isn’t disgusted by us. He isn’t enraged or vengeful. He wants to be near us. All the way from precreation glory in heaven he has pursued us. As a babe born in a manger, he has pursued us. Through a sinless life and unto a cross in our place he has pursued us. And out of the grave he has pursued us. Not God above us. God with us!…
When the birth pains begin. Do not be afraid. Even though everything around you looks out of control, even though there will be horrors and haters and hell on earth; know that it is not without an end. A struggle is underway, but the birth of a new kingdom is a certainty. Jesus’ ministry was defined by his promise that God’s space and our space would one day overlap again. The kingdom of God is near.…

Blind Bartimaeus threw aside his cloak and all that it represented to follow Jesus. He is the exemplar of faithfulness where the rich young ruler was the antithesis. May we all have the courage of this blind beggar who could see who Jesus truly was.

Acting against injustice, slavery, oppression, poverty, and the systems that perpetuate a worldview of in and out or us versus them are essential to following Jesus. It is beholden on us as followers of Jesus to ensure we do not cause the little ones of our society to trip and fall, but rather we should be lifting them up.…

He was expecting a high distinction and instead he got rebuked in front of everyone. In my view, this is amongst the most scathing rebukes that Jesus makes in his entire ministry. Imagine being Peter having his worldview blown apart in this conversation and then being called Satan by the Messiah!…

Consider the nature of the gods in the ancient near eastern world. The gods were fickle and often amoral. They didn’t care for good behaviour or righteousness at all. In contrast, the Hebrew God “Yahweh” was a radically different type of deity. Not only was Yahweh morally upright, he wanted his people to be righteous also. And through the righteousness of his people Yahweh intended to reach the world. When Yahweh’s people thwarted justice and undermined righteousness, they violated the very nature of their identity and covenant with God.…
