Discovering Jesus

Religion & Spirituality


One of the keys to understanding many of Jesus' parables is to know the difference between Eastern shame culture and Western guilt culture. Today we are going to explore those differences, and how they can shed light on Jesus' parable of the banquet. We will discover that this parable, like many, is political in nature, and all about socioeconomic status.We'll also discover what Jesus meant when he told us his disciples to hate their families and carry their crosses. In the end, it's all about the Kingdom.
