Loving people, using things!

Jesus tells a truly haunting parable, in which little mercy seems to be found (Lazarus and the Rich Man, Luke 16:19-31).  While we will get to the mercy of Jesus, we first have to confront the basic problem identified by Jesus:  Sin makes us love things and use people! 

Who is this Shepherd

This week we hear one of Jesus' great parables:  The lost sheep (Luke 15:1-7).  The parable really isn't about sheep though -- its about the Good Shepherd who finds us when we are lost.
