Heb 4:1-5, 11 / Mk 2:1-12
It’s a foolish mistake we Christians make all too often.
Our vocation as followers of Jesus is to live by values that are essentially counter-cultural.
True Christians judge success and greatness by standards that are very different from the world’s. Having and getting are not our highest values. Building a just society in which everyone has a place takes top billing for true Christians.
The list of differences between Christians and the culture is long, and it poses very nicely the essential question for us: When it comes to lived values, are we recognizable as Christians? Do our daily choices speak unmistakably that we are different from the surrounding culture in wholesome ways?
