Good Host/Bad Host

calendar_today February 17, 2013
menu_book Luke 7:36-50

Jesus Christ is invited into the home of a religious scholar (kind of like a pastor or elder) and in comes a sinner – and it turns out – Jesus Christ IS the friend of sinners. He not only tolerates her excesses and bad manners but He extols her and defends her suggestive behavior.
And what becomes central in this episode is seeing. This is a scene and a conflict that brings out the whole matter of perspective…how we SEE life. (Christianity has been described as a way of seeing.) And this encounter introduces a way of seeing that goes way beyond religion or spirituality or morality. It opens up an approach to life that’s un-self-conscious, self-forgetting and truly liberated.
First, we’ll see an OLD WAY of SEEING, then a NEW WAY of SEEING and finally, WHAT YOU NEED TO START SEEING THIS WAY AND KEEP SEEING THIS WAY.
