For Sunday
-
When John the Baptist appears in this week’s gospel, he comes with an overtly political message—one that we can’t really avoid.
-
At the Temple, Jesus teaches about economic exploitation by the powerful and offers a visual metaphor of what it means.
-
When James and John request a special place, they make the mistake of thinking they’re better. We must resist thinking they’re worse.
-
The challenge in Jesus’s teaching on divorce is not that he praises “staying together,” but that we don’t get what together means.
-
When the disciples come across a stranger casting out demons, they want to stop him. Jesus has other plans for them, however.
