5 Strange Verses | Luke 13:31-35 with Sarah Stenson

Jesus calls the Pharisees foxes. God is compared to a hen gathering its chicks under its wings. And your election. Right before this week's lectionary text, Jesus tells the Pharisees, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able." In our conversation with Sarah Stenson, we break down Jesus' response to this election text. We ask her: What is election? How does God elect people? And, what, if any, role do we play in our election?Questions Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:Were there foxes in those days?How is this text used to try to prove there is a free will?Were the Pharisees actually trying to help?Interested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?
