The Audacity of Jesus

Charlotte Elia offers a reflection on Luke 14:1, 7-14.

“When something needs to be said, there’s no time like the present. There’s no time like now in the kingdom of God. If you take nothing else with you today, see if you can’t pick up a little bit of the audacity of Jesus. Speak and witness to the kingdom of God, use your prophetic voice, when the moment presents itself. Don’t wait for some more convenient, more polite time. There’s no telling when or if that time is going to come. Channel that audacity of Jesus, say what needs to be said in the moment it has to be said. God’s time, the kingdom’s time, is always now.”
