St. Columba's Episcopal Church
The Rev. Meghan Mullarkey
Text: Luke 15:1-10
"Our gospel today says, "And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, 'This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
So Jesus told them these two parables.
And these two parables are all about Jesus’ delight and joy when he spends time with humanity. Jesus does not care for all of our categories. Jesus does not think in terms of honor and dishonor. Jesus does not understand the concept of dehumanizing another person, and the closer I get to Jesus the more it baffles me too.
Just like God, Jesus sees a human and he sees one of his beloved and he desires to share food with them, to delight in them, and to celebrate this union."
