Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Luke 14:1-24; Isaiah 55:1-8
The future is given to those who are experienced in groaning. The future is denied to those who have been cynical and calloused and self-deceiving enough to rejoice in the present ordering and are unable to grieve about the ruin toward which the royal community is headed.... The staggering works of Jesus - feeding, healing, casting out, forgiving - happened not to those who held to the old order but to those who yearned because the old order had failed them or squeezed them out. - Walter Brueggemann, The Prophetic Imagination
