Getting Jesus Right

What are the ways we might impose our own priorities onto Jesus and fail to see him for who he really is? On the tenth Sunday after Pentecost, Nic Acosta reminds us to acknowledge our own biases, how we project them onto Jesus, and how God’s generosity is active among those we consider to be wrong . [John 6:1-15]

 

Reflection

1. What do I find when I engage with Jesus as presented in the Gospels?
2. How might our cultural and political biases be keeping us from seeing Jesus clearly?
3. How can we be gracious and generous even toward those who misrepresent Christ?
