God's Kingdom from Every Approach

Today's reading from Matthew 11 is straight out of a police procedural. Do you wanna be the good cop or the bad cop? Jesus compares his way of proclaiming God's Word to John's, and gives us a disappointing conclusion. But also, a promise that he is with us and caring for us no matter our approach. Whoever we are, we are loved and called on to speak God's mercy into the world. Matthew 11.15-19,25-30
