A Reflection on sacrifice


Text Luke 24:36-48

 

Compare the fame of and reaction to Susan Boyle (disbelief that such a person could claim so much, and deliver it)..... (link)

and the reaction to Anzac Day (disbelief that such destruction was possible, or necessary) .... (link)

and the reaction to Jesus by the disciples (personal presence making plain that the claim, and the story, were true) who then perpetuated the claim and the story.
