The Cry We Tried to Quiet

When the blind man cried out, the crowd told him to be quiet. But Jesus stopped everything to listen. In “The Cry We Tried to Quiet” from Luke 18, Terry explores how religious communities sometimes silence cries Jesus wants to answer. How can we become grace-makers, not gatekeepers?

Series Information

Terry proclaims the one Gospel through the history, research, rememberings and faith expressed in the text of the Gospel According to Luke. Jesus himself is the good news expressed by Luke. Beginning with the birth narratives unique to Luke's presentation, the good news of the Kingdom explodes into faithful view as each account, teaching, parable and event lived out and offered by Jesus, the Messiah-King, is examined the way Luke seemingly examined Jesus in his own work. Here we find a Jesus to love, a Jesus to follow, and ultimately a Jesus to worship.
