@taylormjones4 Jesus brought hope to those that needed it most. Like this man, like the haemorrhaging woman. He looked out for everybody, even if society dishonoured and hated them. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

@IanBerk2 Repentance is not about wealth. It has nothing to do with it. It is simply about our effort to repent. How much do we want it. That is why the widow got forgiven and the rich man not. She wanted forgiveness more. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@CalebSc76622687 Jesus gives everybody his time and effort. Most people did not understand him eating with this tax collector. They were hated among the people. Jesus sets an example of inclusivity and neighbour love, influencing Zacchaeus greatly. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

@CalpinCj This is actually the case in many of Lukes stories. He goes against conventions often, portraying widows like the widow herself or for example Naomi as much stronger than other people. They know how to help themselves. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@jonah_raith Repentance is not about material sacrifice but how much of what you have you are willing to sacrifice. Repentance starts with the acknowledgement that you actually have to sacrifice something worthy of your own material status, not below. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

In the Parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector we learn how forgiveness can be earned. The tax collector admits his sins and is therefor rewarded while the Pharisee judges others, which is Gods and not our job. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@HallieLallier This teaches that praying is very important during all times. God will reveal himself to us when we need him the most but he is always with us and listening, just like he was with the widow. #JesusSocialJustice #DrMTheo111

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@emmalinej7 Unfortunately, words like widow already bring a general sentiment with them. They can provoke pity or a sentiment of weakness. Similarly during those times, widow's as we've seen in numerous examples are unmarriable. They are in a bad position. #JesusSocialJustice #DrMTheo111

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@Allison42604943 Repentance goes a far way. The tax collector recognizes his own sins, meaning he is noticing his own actions and the things around him. Just like him, we must also notice things. We must pay attention in order to be of help where help is needed. #JesusSocialJustice #DrMTheo111

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@s_y_d_ryan It is because once we acknowledge our sins we can actually improve them. The Pharisee is stuck in loop of ignorance. He does not realize his problems. #JesusSocialJustice #DrMTheo111

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@EmmaDurbin6 Admitting your sins, even if you have sinned many times is more valuable than being mostly good and not recognizing the bad you have done. At least the tax collector knows and can improve. That's why he is forgiven #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

In the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector Jesus teaches that forgiveness can be earned through admittance and repentance. The tax collector who is worse, is forgiven because he admits his sins and is not ignorant towards God. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@lipps_caitie362 When we have more, we have duty to help those that have less. They don't ask for much, but we have much to give. Lazarus asked for the Crumbs, for survival, the rich man was not willing to give that to him. He ignored the number one commandment. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@emmalinej7 It is more than just respect. It teaches to observe and help where help is needed. Lazarus only asked for the crumbs, nothing that would hurt anyone. He only asked for the necessary meaning he was just in his ask. The rich man ignored him and God. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@alexjfischer20 Liberation Theology puts forward the greatest commandment to love your God and love your neighbour. The rich man chose to ignore that and ignore his duty to help others which is why he went to hell. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@Allison42604943 We need to notice everyone around us. It goes back to the Parable with the lost sheep. We must observe those around us and recognize their needs. The rich man went to hell because he ignored that and only served his needs. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@EricHag44545373 Material wealth was not the problem, the problem was what the man chose to do with his abilities. Instead of loving and caring for his neighbour, he chose to ignore them and be greedy thus ignore God's will #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

Jesus teaches #JesusSocialJustice in the Parable of the rich man and Lazarus, when he demonstrates, against common contextual knowledge, that wealth does not correspond to worthiness, but rather it is what we do with what we have. Lazarus gets rewarded, not the other #DrMTheo111

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@mattdepreytheo This Parable teaches us to look out for the things we have, but also the things we don't notice. We must be much more aware of our surroundings. Only if we notice problems we can face and fix them. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice

[pascalmosberger @pascalmosberger]

@oliviacheung02 The father did not conform to standards of society when taking his son back, in fact he probably suffered quite a bit of laughter, which demonstrates his enormous will of forgiveness. God has that same forgiveness, we can always repent. #DrMTheo111 #JesusSocialJustice
