God's not satisfied with gifts and sacrifices. What will satisfy God? Justice, mercy, humility, connection with God. Micah 6:1-8
So who will make it? The one who self-talks truth, keeps promises, and refuses to use or con the poor or innocent. Psalm 15
What or whom has God chosen? The foolish, the weak, the unremarkable, the undesired--so nobody dare boast. 1 Corinthians 1:18-31
Who is blessed? The mourner, the meek, the spiritually poor and hungry, the peacemakers, the persecuted... Matthew 5:1-12
This week's Lectionary readings compose striking lists of characteristics that God needs in humans. |
