Jesus is not a cruel king like the ones in his story

Jesus will open our eyes to receive his generous mercy.

God’s kingdom is found in trusting in Jesus and not in the stuff and friendships the world offers

Do you agree? So much of our prayer is self-talk (e.g. duty / karma / insurance / condescending / pillow / exam / sick cat), not real prayer.

Jesus calls us to escape the world and find refuge in Jesus before judgement becomes final.

Do you feel like an outsider? Imagine being a foreigner with a bad skin disease in Jesus time. See what Jesus does that is greater than the healing of a skin disease.

How does Jesus respond to the poor?
