I am shocked by Jesus.
In Luke chapter six Jesus gives his first big speech in the gospel. Jesus begins by saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.” This can mean a lot of things, but before it means anything else, it means the poor will be happy because God has come and they will get what they need to live well. Jesus doesn’t connect the poor being blessed to any deed or action on their part. They are blessed because God sees their vulnerability, cares for them, and acts to benefit them. And Jesus is saying the work of his disciples should reflect this sort of God to the poor and to the world. This is shocking to me. I’m used to people talking about the poor pulling themselves up by their shoestrings or only getting what they need once they prove themselves “worthy”. But that doesn’t at all seem like where Jesus’ head is at here. And then a few lines later Jesus balances this line about the poor by saying this: “But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.” I’m shocked again. I’m used to seeing wealthy people as better or, dare I say, more loved by God. So, it’s surprising that’s not where Jesus is here. But Jesus isn’t done surprising. Right after his speech is done, the first thing Jesus does is help and then compliment a rich man who has come to Jesus on behalf of a sick servant. The poor get what they need without proving anything, the rich aren’t special, and Jesus really loves us all. What?!?! If the Jesus we follow doesn’t regularly surprise and shock us, it’s probably not the Jesus of the Bible we’re following. {299 words} |
