Mark 9:30-37 | September 16, 2021

This week, Francisco and Jaime continue "on the way" with Jesus and the disciples in the Gospel of Mark, chapter 9:30-37. The disciples still ain't getting what Jesus is talking about. Faceplant! Jesus has to sit the whole bunch of them down to explain. I don't know if Jesus gets paid enough for all the work he's doing. Then he took a child and put the child among the disciples. “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me." Radical hospitality. Preferential option for the most vulnerable and disempowered. Communing with God. Do you get it now? ... sigh ...
