For Sunday
-
We usually read the parable of the bridesmaids as a teaching about preparedness. But it is a chilling challenge to selfish comforts.
-
In our reflection for this Sunday, we examine what it is we want this gospel to do and why. And why this misses Jesus’s mark for us.
-
There’s something about parables we just get. They connect with us better than any other teaching. And they have far more depth.
-
With a parable of wickedness, our minds turn to their own kind of wickedness, not redemption, or goodness. But they could.
-
Wealth, hard work, and fairness are all tangled up in our imagination. This blinds us to our impact on the experiences of others.
-
When helping people right their wrongs, it’s easy to find wrongs everywhere—and being the one to save them.
