Matthew 8:18-22: The Cost of Discipleship

Several years ago, Norma Jean and I were blessed to travel with Barry Britnell and a group of fellow Believers to Israel. It was a great trip. One I highly recommend to all Christians. Today’s text reminds me of the day we entered the village of Capernaum, billed as “The Town of Jesus.” As we entered I snapped this picture of the statue of “Homeless Jesus” by Canadian sculptor Timothy…

#Repost @mattmcgorry ・・・ I’ve seen a lot of Jesus-art in my time here in Rome. This one is very high on my list. “Homeless Jesus” by Timothy Schmalz. # For those who believe in Jesus, I think it’s quite feasible that he might’ve looked like this today. I believe it’s important to think about how we walk past people experiencing homelessness everyday. The inner narratives that undergird our reasoning for why it could never be us and how we justify why it’s “just the way life is”. The economic policies we support that leave so many people destitute and without housing in the United States. Our complacency with Mayors in “liberal cities” (like Garcetti in LA). A man who takes pictures with people living on Skid Row for P.R. so that we think he is fighting for them with all he’s got while he guns for the Olympics (which have been shown to benefit the already-rich while harming the poor). Using money that could be used to support some of the approximately 60,000 houseless people in LA. Or the $3.5 Billion that LA county is spending on 2 new jails. The War On Drugs (that still continues), that destroyed mental health and addiction rehabilitation programs in exchange for incarceration and for people living on the streets. In a nation where 3, white, Christian men own as much wealth as the bottom 50% of Americans. Where the wealth inequality is greater in the U.S is currently greater than at its peak in Ancient Rome. For those who follow Jesus yet would tell the man on this bench to pull himself up by his bootstraps. Or think the same of any other person that looks like this on the streets or that is in poverty. Is that really what Jesus would do? # #timothyschmalz #HomelessJesus #mattmcgorry #howtogetawaywithmurder (presso Rome, Italy)

Homeless Jesus was designed by Timothy Schmalz, a Canadian sculptor and devout Catholic. It depicts Jesus as a homeless person, sleeping on a park bench. His face and hands are obscured, hidden under a blanket, but crucifixion wounds on his feet reveal his identity. The statue has been described as a "visual translation" of the Gospel of Matthew passage in which Jesus tells his disciples, "as you did it to one of the least of my brothers, you did it to me". Schmalz intended for the bronze sculpture to be provocative, admitting, "That's essentially what the sculpture is there to do. It's meant to challenge people." Now we are very honored to have one cast right at the Cathedral of Good Shepherd church along Queen Street.

#Repost @catholicnewsagency with @repostapp. ・・・ #HomelessJesus in the #Vatican. #PopeFrancis blessed this bronze statue during the #JubileeofMercy. The statue is located by the office of the Pope's charities, which are dedicated to the poor. The statue was crafted by Canadian sculptor Timothy P. Schmalz. He says the inspiration to create it came during the Christmas Holidays, when he found a homeless person sleeping on a bench. #Catholic #CatholicChurch #JubileeofMercy Photo : Alexey Gotovskiy / @catholicnewsagency
