Trying on New Perspectives

We often get stuck in seeing things certain ways because of our own culture and conventions. We tend to think we understand the world around us, and can make sense of all others, and their actions, through those lenses. As disciples, however, those ways of looking at things are at times challenged, and when challenged, ought to be discarded. Today, Jesus puts somewhat odd associations together for us, to help us see the world in (perhaps) a new light.
