my three points

Three main points

1. This reading expresses Jesus distaste at the way people were treating each other and especially those outside their circle

2. In any reading from the gospels we need to be looking at where God is in this and even more, who God is in this reading and in this reading God is the seeker, God is compassionate and God is inclusive and we are called to behave likewise.

3. This reading shows us an example of how we should live together. IT gives us a picture of co0mmunity, our community. Of how we should live differently to others. We should not just let people wander off, we should are for each other, even when it is not expedient or reasonable and maybe especially then.
