The sermon is on the Luke 18: 35 to 19: 10. I am not 100% sure why we read the passage before except maybe for the forecast of Calvary. I used this as an opportunity to review where we had been over the earlier four weeks and try, key word - try, to put a cherry on top of those four reflections.

This is the familiar story of the Good Samaritan. This was acrtually extremely scandalous for Jesus to use this imagery. Amy Jill Levine, Jewish New Testament Scholar at Vanderbilt, suggests that the image is someone coming to your rescue, that was so detested, that you would just as soon die rather than be helped by him. Wow.
This is an excellent text for us to examine in this most hostile of times. How do we learn to listen to each other in a way to understand rather than to hate and reject?
