Episode 225 Ash Wednesday SPECIAL EPISODE (Luke 9:51-62)

On this special Ash Wednesday episode BibleWorm discusses Jesus’s journey through Samaria in Luke 9:51-62. We talk about what it means that Jesus sets his face toward Jerusalem, and what it means in our own time to find resoluteness in our own journeys toward the fulfillment of justice. We ponder the story of the disciples wanting to call down fire on the Samaritans and Jesus’s rebuke of their inclination toward violence. And we wrestle with the stories of three would-be disciples who ultimately do not follow Jesus, grappling with the difficulty of leaving relationships behind in the interest of a greater purpose. You are dust, and to dust you shall return.
