Today we read the most challenging of the parables of Jesus – yet its’ primary meaning is unmistakable.  Jesus uttered it in relation to our purpose in life – how it comes down to one of two things.  Jesus sums it all up in today’s reading in Luke.  “No servant can serve two masters … he will be devoted to the one and despise the other”   He ends by bluntly saying, “ You cannot serve God and  mone...

Our readings today in both Ezekiel and Luke highlight how God looks to see a repentant spirit among individuals and when it happens “there is  joy before the angels of God  over one sinner who repents” [Luke 15 v.10].  We noted the emphasis on one sinner.  The Jewish communal way of life under the Law of Moses around the tabernacle and later in the Temple had a tendency to think in national terms,...

A @Christadelphians Video: There are many parables and challenging sayings in today’s 2 chapters in Luke’s gospel. Jesus’ utterance of just 3 words are very thought provoking: “Salt is good” [14 v34]This immediately reminds us of what Jesus said in his ‘Sermon on the Mount’ after what we call the ‘Beatitudes’ Look at Matt. 5 v.13, – he said “You are the salt of the earth” to illustrate the role hi...

Our ch. 16 in Ezekiel today finishes with this wonderfully positive declaration.  After all the negative messages Ezekiel had been caused to send back to the remnant of his people in and around Jerusalem – in v,60 we read, “yet I will remember my  covenant  with  you  in the days of your youth, and  I will establish for you an everlasting covenant .”   And so we ponder the wonder of the return and...

Our Luke reading today features Jesus’ criticism of the religious leaders. They were obsessed with unimportant ritual.  They had elaborated on the straightforward commandments of Moses about washing hands and making sure cups and vessels were clean. What really motivated them to do this? The ritual they had created was more important to them than the reason for the commandment.  The lesson Jesus d...

What a challenging – and inspiring – set of readings we have today!  In 2nd Kings 22 & 23 we see how Josiah, the last good and righteous king to reign in Jerusalem was inspired by the words that Moses had written when they were discovered in the Temple as it was being restored and cleansed at his command.  As a result he instituted great reforms and the removal and destruction of everything th...

As usual, all our chapters are full of meaningful lessons: first, Hezekiah after his life is extended 15 years is succeeded by a 12 yr old son, Manasseh who turns out to be a very bad king.  We wonder about the role of Hephzibah, his mother in this.  The spirituality of the person we marry is very important. Hephzibah’s name is apparently of Phoenician origin, meaning, ‘delight of Baal. Again the...
