Pentecost (61)
  1. Jesus does not remain at a distance from our suffering. He fully enters it and bears its burden.
  2. When the One who created the world comes to you, there is reason for courage and never reason to fear.
  3. Because Jesus turns desolate, dying places into holy landscapes of life.
  4. I would understand if you were a bit offended. This looks more like Game of Thrones than the Kingdom of God.
  5. Jesus will bring good news, send His disciples to bring good news, and, in His death and resurrection, become good news for all.
  6. Somedays we are simply looking for a mark, a rock at the foot of a tree, something to direct us forward, a few words to let us know we are going in the right direction.
  7. In this context where death looms large, Jesus reveals a kingdom where life looms even larger.
  8. The tragedy of this parable is not the failure to serve. It is the failure to truly know your Savior.
  9. The parable is harsh. It judges. If you do not believe, you will not be saved. But let us pause for a moment and think about why Jesus is telling the parable.
  10. Jesus invites us to practice a faith that is bold. He invites us to trust in Him, without calculations.
  11. Imagine a world where love is given to the least. That is what Jesus is inviting His disciples to do in His parable this morning.
  12. In this parable, notice how Jesus invites us to consider that forgiveness is something more than a moment. It is a way of grace that extends throughout an entire kingdom.
