Jesus is giving His marching orders to those who will follow Him. He is tipping His hand and telling them what a life of being His disciple will entail and it won’t be like anything they have ever experienced in this world. Contrary to what our social groups may be telling us, society may be telling or even the world may be telling us, Jesus is offering a Better Way of living…living in a world turned upside-down by His love and grace. A world where the poor are rich, the marginalized are exalted, the sinner is forgiven, and the dead are raised to life again.
