Whatever We Think Glory Is, We're Wrong

from Cup o' Joe Hosted by Joseph Zenk

Readings for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Isaiah 53:10-11; Mark 10:35-45 Martin Luther once invited us all to "Sin boldly!" He must have been thinking about James and John in today's reading. They are bold - make no mistake about it. And they are 180 degrees off-base in their assumptions, which were the foundation of their request. They sought glory. They had no idea what glory was. And so Jesus made sure to set not only the two of them, but all of the disciples, straight on what glory consisted of - which meant tipping everything that they thought they knew upside down. As if that wouldn't be enough for a podcast, let's also do a quick unpack of the theory of the atonement. That's a light subject, no? Perhaps that's why this one went a bit long... Special thanks to Bridget Zenk for her composition and performing of our intake and outtake music. And thank you to you for your continued listening and sharing of this podcast. I'm so grateful and humbled. Have a question or comment? I can be reached at [email protected]
