"Exegetical Considerations,"
Pentecost 10, Richard
Carlson, Lutheran Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, Using Greek for
Sunday Text Preparations.
| "How does this text relate to its
literary context of 12:1-13:9 and its focus on eschatological ultimates?" |
|
|
"First
Thoughts on Year C Gospel Passages in the Lectionary,"
Pentecost 11, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
| "We should probably begin this passage
with the preceding verse, which speaks of seeking the kingdom and
receiving what one had been anxious about. Certainly the opening verse
sets the framework for what follows. God wants to give us the kingdom!" |

Exegetical Notes
by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks Christian Resources.
| "Slaves should know how to be prepared
for their master's unexpected coming. Homeowners should know how to be
prepared for a thief's unexpected coming. Have we learned how to be
prepared for the Son of Man's unexpected coming?" |

| "I sometimes think that the first
wrong turn in our history was not when Constantine made ours an
official religion but when our ancestors at Antioch gave themselves
a name." |

Earthly Treasure with Heavenly Interest," analysis and reflection by Steve Kuhl
in Sabbatheology by The Crossings Community of St Louis, Missouri.
| "...by national standards most of us do manage a pretty good living. Still,
quite disturbingly, that usually occurs at the cost of the "least of these"
among us: those neighbors for whom the economy has no room, those vulnerable ones who
especially need our alms, (v. 33) but find them not forthcoming." |

| "Parables
and their Social Contexts," Chapter 6 in What Are They
Saying about the Parables? by David Gowler (Paulist Press, 2000).
| "This model of leadership in
the Christian community is possible because God is the ultimate
patron, and Jesus is depicted as the broker of God’s blessings to
the people. But in the parable of the Wedding Feast (Luke
12:35–40) a paradox appears: the master (patron) takes the role of
a servant (12:37)." |

| "The
Tension between Poverty and Possessions in the Gospel of Luke,"
John Sheila Galligan, Spirituality Today, Spring 1985.
| "No fanatic about renunciation
of possessions, Jesus nevertheless warned us that they could hinder
our being open to the Kingdom and that we have to use them for
others welfare." |
