Reflection

Jesus reminds us that if we take on his message of compassion, hospitality and table fellowship then it can set us apart from those who have not accepted the message – even family members.  It’s a challenging message that even love and loyalty within a family can be disrupted by seeking to authentically live the model of Jesus.  If we authentically place the needs of the lowly and the outcast ahead of our own and ahead of our family, then this can be very confronting and very disrupting.
