Today's Message
- "You Gotta Be Joking!" - Rev. Steve Albertin
- When we “explain” a joke, we run the risk of ruining the punchline and the joke.
- At the risk of ruining the joke, I will “explain” the jokes in today’s Gospel.
- At the heart of Jesus’ parables are jokes with punchlines. A farmer wonders how he got a harvest when he did nothing. If someone had told him this would happen, he would have said, “You gotta be joking!”
- A tiny mustard seed produces a great shrub. “You gotta be joking!”
- Jesus’ parables portray what God is doing through him. They always surprise us with the unexpected, like the punchline of a good joke.
- The Bible is the story of God offering one hilarious punchline after another, always surprising people with undeserved love.
- We might wonder, “You gotta be joking!” But God is utterly serious about surprising sinners with love.
- Therefore, we live with a holy sense of humor always looking for the punchlines and the mustard seeds, where God unexpectedly blesses us. No joke!
