Different Time. Different Place. Same Story.

In her Lent 3 sermon Denise Kelsall channels her inner Jesus when confronting the money-changers. She expresses her anger at the greed that has destroyed the world economy, but discovers that being angry alone is not the answer. "I like this Jesus because he is so very human - unlike the holy man of wisdom, the messiah, the saviour, the prophet, the healer, the son of God, this is a Jesus that everyone can identify with and admire. Haven’t we all secretly wanted to overturn the tables or rage against injustice and yet mostly we just slink away fuming inside. Perhaps we write a letter or complain bitterly to friends or just take a deep breath and think ‘it’s not worth it’ and get on with life, unlike the courageous and physical fulminating of Jesus."
