A Trained Disciple with a Solid House

Extraordinary Teaching for Ordinary People We join Luke again as he lead us to see Jesus in the Sermon on the Plain (Lk 6). Crowds of people in need, hopeful, hurting, expecting, but what? healing, glory, Remember how amazing Jesus’ teaching is in this sermon: love of enemies, rejection of possessiveness; generosity without expectation, etc. But these words are for ordinary people of all kinds. Jesus knows well that his hearers, even apostles, are sinful – “blind.” But still he sees them as growing, learning as disciples, coming to full formation so that they are like Jesus himself.
