@oliviacheung02 Jesus implores the disciples much to their skepticism to listen to the children, even though they as adults may think there is little knowledge to be gained from the children; Jesus proves them wrong. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@alexjfischer20 To be faithful implies that we are never without belief, and I think this harkens back to the lawyer's question of "what do must we do to enter the kingdom of heaven?" There is not one single thing on can do to prove faithfulness. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
In #Luke Jesus tells about the Parable of the Wicked Tenants, giving a euphemism to trusting in God as the creator, in this case trusting the owner, and to not discriminate anyone because of their status, in this case, the slave. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@lzheng0626 The idea that he spent all his time to teach enlightenment is truly profound. His goals are never to happily send people to Hell, they are to save as many as he can before their time is up. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@pascalmosberger I think this is a perfect example of how we can show that people of status (while many believe the wealthy to be less faithful) can show their commitment to God, regardless of their wealth. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@DanielV37901922 I think that while we may assume that there is this constant hatred of the wealthy on the part of the scripture, it is all up to the faith in God of the person, that truly affects where they go when they die. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@IanBerk2 We could argue that the man's faith in God alone is the ultimate factor that allows for him to become sighted again. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@abbykorak I think the widow's perseverance and upkeeping of her faith was also a pivotal factor in overcoming her personal challenge. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
In #Luke we see prayer from two corrupt persons, a Pharisee and a tax collector. It is better to be the sinful tax collector who repents his sins, than to be a cold-hearted Pharisee who insists his faith is strong. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@lzheng0626 The classification of status in this chapter tells us that God could have cared about the rich man and Lazarus equally, however the rich man's actions and treatment of the poor would account for God seeing less in him. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
@AndyHamer7 The rich man although righteous towards people that he himself adored, was not righteous towards people that he payed no mind to. He was cruel to those who did not please him, just like Lazarus. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
In #Luke we see Jesus not only cure the ten lepers of their condition, but invites them back to society, as they should be. The lepers are now once again whole with those who may have spited them as well. #DrMTheo111#JesusSocialJustice
