Reflections Along the Jesus Way
January 28, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“According to Jesus, the religious establishment had declared themselves spiritually healthy and assumed they were beyond need of the services of the Great Physician. It happened then, and it still happens today. Jesus did not accept their spiritual self-diagnosis. Jesus declared that the unqualified would be freely admitted to his new church, rather than membership granted on the basis of merit – the prevailing status quo of religious admissions policies. Those who had determined that they were immune from the spiritual disease Jesus came to heal did not respond to him. On the other hand, those who were acutely aware of their need flocked to him.”
