Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time
Luke 6:6-11
*Friends, in our Gospel today Jesus heals a man with a withered hand. As
I’ve said many times before, we tend to domesticate Christ, reducing him to
a guru or a teacher, one spiritual guide among many. But this is to do
violence to the Gospel, which presents him not simply as teacher but as
savior.I realize that the culture militates against Christianity at this
point, for it steadily teaches the ideology of self-esteem and
self-assertion. “I’m okay and you’re okay. Who are you to tell me how to
behave?”But this sort of thing—whatever value it might have politically or
psychologically—is simply inimical to a biblical Christianity. The biblical
view is that we have, through the abuse of our freedom, gotten ourselves
into an impossible bind. Sin has wrecked us in such a fundamental way that
we have become dysfunctional. Until we truly feel what it means to be lost
and helpless, we will not appreciate who Jesus is and what he means. Jesus
is someone who has rescued us, saved us, done something that we could
never, even in principle, do for ourselves. *
