Proper 15
Luke 12.49-56Context
The British have built a whole culture on the weather so they might be expected to be particularly appreciative of the teaching Jesus drew from weather images.
Common thread – Look out! (Luke 12.49-56)
The ROOTS resources this week help us to address some of the most puzzling and uncomfortable of Jesus’ teachings. History demonstrates that sadly religion often fuels rather than heals division: yet is this really what Jesus is talking about? Yet again we are warned that faith is not synonymous with comfort and we must always keep an eye on the signs of the times.
An alternative thread for adults, Looking for Jesus, draws from Hebrews 11.29 – 12.2.
These resources were first published in Issue 48 July/August 2010.
