The Big Idea: Let's comfort the afflicted, sure, but sometimes we need to afflict the comfortable.
Chicago journalist Peter Finley Dunne once wrote that the purpose of a newspaper is to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Jesus, too, uses this dual approach. Sometimes he compassionately speaks words that calm his anxious sheep—like the last two lessons. Other times—like in this lesson—he doesn’t shrink from creating disturbing images to “afflict the comfortable.”
