Jesus visibly identifies with the poor in order to teach a lesson to the religious. He broke etiquette because they would not break through …
Breaking Etiquette
“Dear God,
I am sorry for the walls I have built and the ways I have insulated myself from those You love. I am sorry for the concept of right and proper I have allowed to separate me from those who don’t fit into my social and cultural mores. I am sorry that I have avoided those I am uncomfortable around and then had the audacity to call my sin holiness. Please forgive me. Please give me a love for the lost that will violently and rudely break past the “etiquette” we have established in our churches and I in my life. Let me passionately and improperly do anything and everything short of sin to pursue the “one”.
Amen.”
