#150: Jesus, Faith, and the Rejects (Musings on Luke 16-19)
from The Bible (Unmuted)
There's something interesting going on in Luke 16-19. It's a large swath off Scripture, full of seemingly distinct and self-contained events and parables. And yet, they are not completely distinct. A careful reading, actually, shows how every segment fits together in a beautiful whole. And within this narrative are important truths about how God treasures the very people who earthly society considers insignificant. In fact, God's kingdom is comprised of society's rejects, all of whom illustrate what it means to have true faith and what it means to be a devoted follower of Christ. +++Support The Bible (Unmuted) via Patreon: patreon.com/TheBibleUnmutedMatthew's blog: matthewhalsted.substack.comDon't forget to subscribe to The Bible (Unmuted)!
