Perusings on The Living Parable

We are comfortable; he will make us uncomfortable.

We feel personally liberated; he will question why we have left our communities behind in quest for the "I."

We love our families; he will pierce our hearts and demand deeper and more unique love within our families.

We work so hard; he will question for whom and for what do we work?

We are a country of peace; he will ask why we gate our entrances and allow only pieces of peace to so few.

We seek more money, nicer homes, more recognition; he will call us to be small and humble. 

We will set nice tables for him, but he will seek out the dirty abandoned tables.

He will turn us on our heads. He will make our lives a parabola, "a parable," when we were only seeking a "nice story with a moral." Are we really ready?
