Reflection question 5: Jesus has just spent the night in prayer, chosen ‘the twelve’ (his team!) and he sits them down. The stage is set for his most important teaching. Nowhere in Luke does the Gospel challenge us so severely. What are my ultimate pursuits? What world order am I living for? What measurement system of ‘success’ am I committed to? Am I on the side of the ‘poor’ and ‘hungry’ or the ‘rich’ and the ‘full’? What does your lifestyle and actions show? Are you ‘good news to the poor’? (note Luke means primarily economically poor not the tame version of ‘poor in spirit’ of Matthew)
