Luke gives us not two, but three parables. There is a rule of three in story telling: "Cinderella" and her two sisters; to use a non-kosher example, "The Three Little Pigs." Usually, the third story reveals the surprise: "There was a man who had two sons."

I am in Bavaria this weekend and next for the Passion Play in Oberammergau.

The sculptor imposes nothing, but only frees what is held captive in stone. Discipleship is something like this. It does not work by means of addition or acquisition, but by release, of prying loose, of letting go of the need to have our life circumstances be a certain way in order for us to live, or pray, or be deeply happy.

In Hebrew, the word for Egypt is Mitzrayim , which literally means a very narrow place.  To come out of Egypt, the Children of Israel had to pass through a narrow, difficult way. God meets us in the narrow places and leads us out into the land of promise.

Luke is connecting the baptism of Jesus, when the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, like a dove; and his death on the cross, when Jesus gives his Spirit.

"The difference between a labyrinth and a maze is that a labyrinth has no dead ends.  No step taken in faith is wasted, not by a God who makes all things new.” Rachel Held Evans

Abraham bargained with God to save the city for the sake of a few righteous ones. Kabbalah, or Jewish mysticism, expanded the idea: “The world must contain not less than 36 righteous individuals in each generation for whom God preserves the world."

James Alison suggests that Jesus’ comment to Martha is probably a pun, which does not translate well from the original language. Alison imagines Jesus saying: "Martha, Martha, You want Mary to help you with the serving, But I just want to serve you."
