In this post I reflect on how the Gospel of Luke tells the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowds shout “peace in the heavens, and glory in the highest!” What does this mean?
Why do we make such a big deal about Jesus? Can’t we just talk about God, or be spiritual. What does a 1st century Jewish Rabbi have to do with life today?
Take a visual tour of the Sabbath Law. See how it changed from Exodus to Deuteronomy and how Jesus thought about it in the Gospels.
This post offers visual resources for the Revised Common Lectionary and the Narrative Lectionary for August 13, 2023. The RCL takes us to three powerful stories this week. First, we look at Joseph in Genesis for two weeks. Second, we read the story of Elijah and God on Mt. Horeb. Finally, we witness Jesus walking on water in Matthew 14:22-33. The NL concludes a series on Wisdom literature by looking at The Song of Solomon. It pairs this with Mark 8:35-37 for the Gospel reading.
