25 07 06 - A Good Neighbour 22:52

3d ago22:52

22:52

Before we get to the question of, “Who is my neighbour?” it is worth considering a modern retelling of this story. In our context it is hard to appreciate the disdain that the Jewish people felt towards the Samaritan people. Perhaps imagine this scene taking place in modern day Israel, with a devout Hasidic Jew questioning a rabbi, and in response …

22:30

Jesus isn’t complicit with boundaries defined by race, religion, borders, politics, culture, wealth, gender, or status. He sends out his messengers into Samaria to prepare the way because the people of Samaria are made in the image of God just as truly as the people in Judea. Just as today the people in Gaza, Ukraine, and Iran are made in the image…

1M ago21:28

21:28

Whilst a political party may have unity of ideology, and even churches can have a shared creed, the kingdom of God calls us to share in a oneness that is displayed not by a doctrinal statement but rather by our love for one another.

25 05 25 - He's a Very Naughty Boy 34:58

1M ago34:58

34:58

When it came to following the rules, Jesus repeatedly upset the religious leaders. Jesus was prepared to bend the rules (as the Pharisees defined them) to honour his principles. And sometimes we must also bend the rules to honour the principles of the kingdom of God.

25 05 18 - A New Command 17:16

2M ago17:16

17:16

In these last quiet moments with his friends, this was the message that Jesus felt was most important. Not a theological statement or a creed. Not a four-step program or a salvation prayer. Instead he gave them a new command: The measure of their faithfulness would be their love for one another.

24:25

Peter denies knowing Jesus before the crucifixion. And then after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to Mary, and then to the disciples in the upper room, and then he appeared a second time and spoke with Thomas. But Peter is not mentioned. John even records Peter narrowly missing Jesus in the garden before he appeared to Mary, but Peter never gets c…

It must be rough being a person who is only known because of a single defining event or trait, or worse, a singular mistake or failure in their lives. Poor old Thomas is like this.

25 04 13 - Challenging Empire 20:21

3M ago20:21

20:21

The portrait of God in the flesh being crucified is the great scandal of Easter. Jesus isn’t like the pagan god’s of the ancient world, or the violent caricature of God as believed by the Jews. Jesus is God and he humbles himself and in his death reconciles the whole world.

When the son is still a long way off, the father is waiting and watching for him. This is the only time in scripture that I can see an image of God in a hurry, he runs to embrace his lost son. But all the son can think about is his sin. He is terrified that his sin will stop him from being welcomed. He is desperate to talk about his sin and the fat…

25:39

I do not see God the same way that Calvinists see God. If you believe God’s righteousness is manifest in a wrath that demands violent retribution in order to be satisfied, then the Calvinist interpretation of this passage can make sense, even if it is abhorrent. Just as the proverbial hammer sees everything as a nail, the Calvinist certainty regard…

25 03 16 - O Jerusalem 13:23

4M ago13:23

13:23

When malice and violence are directed at Jesus, he doesn’t rally his followers to violence, instead he laments and likens himself to a mother hen longing to draw her chicks under her protective wings. It is a brooding hen rather than an imperial eagle that Jesus identifies with.

4M ago20:17

20:17

Our picture of God must be shaped by our understanding of Jesus. He is the only true perfect representation of the father, and he is the lens through which we must interpret all Scripture and revelation (Heb 1:1-3). His teaching and example are superior to all others, and when we are faced with complex theological and moral conundrums the sensitivi…

23:20

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 Chris…

The gospels make no secret of Jesus’ concern for the least and the little.

The Scriptures labour over Jesus’ love for these people, recording at length the stories where he interacts with the w…

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.

Jesus 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…
