Sermon for the Sixth Sunday After Epiphany: Welcome to the Level Place

The Rev. Alissa Newton text: Luke 6:17-26

"Jesus does not believe in binaries. That last statement might surprise you, if you were paying attention to our gospel reading just now. 'Blessed are you who are poor…. woe to you who are rich Blessed are you who are hungry….woe to you who are full.' I mean, these sound a lot like binaries, don’t they? It’s true that they aren’t the rankings we are used to, but isn’t Jesus basically sorting people here? I don’t think so. I think Jesus is doing something even more radical than flipping binaries – in this sermon on the level place, Jesus is complicating , and maybe even collapsing, them."
