What this episode covers

(Proper 14a - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Whom shall we imitate? The kings of old? David learns that kingship is painful and destructive, as are the ways of power of this world. Jesus is confronted with a desire to pigeonhole him into the traditional ties of blood and societal expectations. But the sacramental life is about imitating God in Christ: scandal to the world, but eternal life to those who are called.
