There’s no better place to give a sermon about community than on a plain (aka a level field). All communities may not put everyone on the same level, but in God’s Kingdom, every field is a level playing field. The blessings and woes of such a community ought to be felt by all. In today’s passage from the Gospel of Luke, Jesus lays it on the line with the disciples...proclaiming both blessings and woes. What’s left for us to decide is if we’re going to come down on the blessing side or the woe side of things. In the end, God offers us a way of grace. It’s up to us to get on board... together.
