November 5, 2023: The Inside on the Outside - Hannah Thom

Luke 12:1-12 is a troubling passage at so many levels and for so many reasons. Perhaps the most troubling is Jesus’ warning that what is secret will be made known. And it’s troubling because we all have secrets, some even unknown to ourselves. So how exactly will those secrets be made known? Well, when taken in context the larger teaching of Jesus points toward times of trouble and having to speak and testify – seemingly at the threat of one’s own life. Perhaps what Jesus is getting at is this: when the waters of our lives are stirred and the path we walk becomes rocky, what is really inside each of us is what comes out.
