The Grumble Behind the Gospel
When Jesus invited himself to Zacchaeus’ house, the people didn’t rejoice; they muttered. Grace sounded unfair to those who thought they had earned more of it. From Luke 19, Terry investigates why grace shocks the respectable, how crowds become barriers instead of witnesses, and how Jesus delights in flipping our scorecards. The question is: will we mutter outside, or join him at the table?
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.
