The Sone at the Door
Nobody decided to exclude anyone. That's the uncomfortable part. When Jesus walked into the temple and cleared it out, he wasn't dealing with villains. He was dealing with a system that had drifted, gradually, reasonably, with good intentions at every step, until the one space set aside for outsiders had no room left for them. There was a stone at the door. Somebody commissioned it. Nobody remembered why. The question Jesus leaves behind is harder than the one he answered.
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.
