The people of God are in a time of rebuilding. The prophet calls on them to rebuild their broken community in a specific way: with care and concern for those who are so often oppressed, exploited, and ignored.

Jesus points over and over again to a reality easy to miss, and yet already present: a “new family” that shakes up the world. This is a family in which love is thicker than blood.

Testimonies of lessons and life-changing love.

Jesus doesn’t just invite his disciples to follow him, but follow like him. Even now, Jesus invites us to reconsider what “following” even means.

The wisdom of an ancient insight might be more about experiencing God than explaining God.
