Looking Beyond
Jesus exceeded social expectations. And that was the problem. No longer a mere carpenter, he dared to stand out as the traveling teacher and healer. His critics could not explain his power so they charged him with sorcery. But did that make any sense? Why would evil allow good to result? And because of his popularity, he was an embarrassment to his family. However, who was his family?
Jesus scandalized people through his charismatic personality, his popularity and his power. He rose above the expectations of other, even his own family. Could this be God at work?
Who's the "black sheep" in your family? How do you deal with them? These questions are addressed in the Gospel Story "Family Business." This is a three minute video with a short story of a life situation, a moral from the gospel and a reflection question.
