Jesus' Dress Code

As followers of Jesus, we struggle to balance the radical hospitality of Jesus' new life with the call to be holy that invitation implies. Everyone is welcome, and everyone must become like Jesus. In Matthew 22, Jesus compares God's kingdom to a great wedding that has an open guest list - everyone is invited! But if you come to the party God's throwing, you must be willing to be transformed, to "wear the right outfit". Jesus' kingdom is both radically welcoming and radically challenging. And that's good, because we need both!

Amos pictures God as a lion, roaring God’s judgment from Mt. Zion. We don’t like to think of God as a judge. But the biblical picture of God as judge is founded in God’s love as our Father in Heaven. We can hear God’s judgment as words as a firm love calling us to be whole.
