“…when John tells of the anointing of Jesus in this Gospel passage he includes Lazarus as a key part of his story…From the tale of a rotting corpse that is called back into life by Jesus to the tale of Mary preparing Jesus’ body for burial,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
“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
“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
“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
“…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
“God is not in the business of cutting us down, but of helping us grow,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
