The Gospel According to Mark • September 20th, 2020
The Kingdom of God and its in-breaking reality is at the center of Jesus’ life and ministry. If “Kingdom of God” is fuzzy "christian-ese," think about the Kingdom of God as the place where God’s will is done completely 24/7 365; the place where peace and justice reign. And the center of this reality are children, the lowly. The Kingdom of God, according to Jesus, belongs to the vulnerable and the voiceless. Jesus’ indignation comes because his disciples are misrepresenting the heart of the Kingdom.
This teaching explores the implications of Jesus' life as he orients himself to & toward the vulnerable.
