What this episode covers

(Proper 13 (Year C) - The Rev. Br. Richard Edward Helmer) Jesus, along with the ancient prophets, knows our habit of making pacts with death. From our greed to our obsession with weapons we think will protect us, we end up in the age-old problem of making human sacrifice to gods that deal in death and violence. Our God is different, and our God is calling us to a radically different way of being.
