Jesus is not guilty of any crime, neither violence nor deceit, nor any act deserving the anguish now laid upon him. He is an innocent man condemned by fear, envy, and the blindness of those who fail to see truth nailed before them. Condemned by religious structures wedded to Empire.

In the context of Luke's gospel, Jesus is assuring his people that God hears them and sees them.

The Pharisees thought that Israel needed to be more holy in order for Yahweh to save them from the oppression they faced.

Ritual and tradition that help us to transform our hearts can be incredibly beautiful, but tradition that only serves to make us feel morally superior is not beautiful.

For those in Jesus’ audience this message is a warning that they should set aside hubris and reconsider their self-appointed places at the table.

It’s saddening how many loud Christian voices use their influence to peddle fear and bigotry through biblical sounding arguments.

Picking on women continues to be popular, so does picking on immigrants and t…

Too often the church and groups of believers seem to live in fear.

Followers of Jesus should be equally grieved by the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians.

Before we get to the question of, “Who is my neighbour?” it is worth considering a modern retelling of this story.
