The Unionists

73. Jesus, a curse, and a blessing

An interesting pairing of events.... paired with a passage from Paul's second letter to Timothy.

72. The prayer of the Lord

"Praying our way through" a very familiar prayer.

71. The Good Samaritan, Mary & Time

Coming at the end of Luke 10 from a slightly different angle...

70. Out go the Seventy!

A consideration of Luke 10's send-out of the Seventy, paying attention to how the flesh and Spirit hear such words differently.

69. The Lord is my Good Shepherd

Back and forth between David's words, and the Son of David's from John 10.

68. John 9's "man born blind"

Taking a very familiar narrative... and reminding ourselves of the story of our "spiritual sight."

67. A "caught" woman meets the "Light of the World"

Imagining the reality of John 8 through that woman's eyes.

66. Jesus & the Festival of Tabernacles

Three interactions on the southward journey, as well as a series of statements made in the Temple during this Feast week.

65. A (literalized) parable on forgiveness

Taking a parable out of the parabolic and making it (all too!) real.

64. Teachings in response to our human quest for "greatness"

Upon arriving back to Capernaum, Jesus has an extended lesson for His friends.
