Luke 15.11-32
“What if this is not the parable of the prodigal (reckless and wasteful) son, but the parable of the prodigal father? A father so reckless and wasteful with his love that he is willing to humiliate himself for the one he loves?” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
Luke 4.1-15
“The temptation to seek security over justice, comfort over compassion, and power over humility is something that we all know in our own lives. Lent might be a time for us to step into the wilderness of our own lives, to confront what tempts us away from love, justice, and grace,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
Luke 6.39-49
“There’s an old saying, ‘If you want to know what a person believes watch their feet and not their lips.’ Are they walking the talk, or are they just speaking empty words?” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
Luke 6.27-38
“Respect is an important antidote to judgement. When Jesus says, ‘Do not judge’, we are perhaps being called instead to ‘respect’, to look again at a person, to look again, and to really see them beyond and beneath the quick judgements we so often make based on so many shallow or surface things,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
Luke 6:17-26
“…there will come a time when people actually live lives that reflect the love of God…a glorious time that Jesus described over and over again as the Kingdom of God,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
