JR. Forasteros - April 26, 2015
Beautiful
Our culture has a particular definition of what counts as beautiful, a carefully constructed image into which nearly no body fits. Much as in the days of the early church, the powers that be have a vested interest in controlling our bodies. When Peter and John heal a lame man in Acts, the Jerusalem establishment reacts with fear and violence. When we learn why this healing was such a threat, we find a vision for a Church that embraces bodies of all shapes, sizes, color, and more.

During this series, we’ve been exploring the three temptations using Dostoyevsky’s “The Grand Inquisitor”.
This Sunday, we’re going to switch things up. I’m going to share some of my own fiction that I’ve used to reflect on the nature of Jesus third test.
What did it mean that Satan told Jesus to worship him? How could Satan offer up the kingdoms of the world?
Questions to consider… until we gather on Sunday. See you then!
