Weekly Sermon: What if God Were One of Us? When you hear Ezekiel letting God’s word pour down through him, crying Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Oh, but don’t you feel the thrill of his righteous anger, and feel it is as your own! “You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock; you do not bring back the strays.” The translation sounds out as plain politics. You eat the curds means you pay poverty wages to the poor and make a million off their backs. You clothe yourselves with their wool refers to the fine estates, the sumptuous feasts, the elegant clothes and the secure billions the topmost take from the wages of the bottommost to lay up in tax-free counting houses.
You slaughter the choice animals: You run the people to bankruptcy with hospital charges and student loans. Remember Ezekiel’s time.

Jesus once told a story that on the surface appears to be quite shocking because it seems to be filled with great injustice and unfairness. The story starts during one harvest season in first century Palestine. In a technical sense, an injustice was done in this particular action. Well, as the story unfolds at 9:00 a.m., three hours into the day’s work, the vineyard owner came back to the square, found 20 day laborers still waiting and selected five more.

Luke 1:26-38 4th Sunday of Advent - Year A December 21, 2008 The story is told that one day in heaven Jesus approached Peter who, acting in his roll as admissions officer, was sitting at the pearly gates. Jesus complained about the quality of people Peter was admitting into heaven, noting how many of them were of significantly questionable reputation. Mary has acquired such a reputation over the years. A theological look at this lesson reveals something startling: it's not about Mary. But this is not simply about the wonder of God's power to do the impossible in Mary.
