WEDNESDAY WONDERING with Joanna-
The week when two pastors play pickleball together.

Yesterday, Carol and I were playing pickleball, and noticed a bug (a beetle?) joined us on the court. We played around the beetle, which really helped improve our accuracy practice, because we didn’t want to squash the little thing. We would stop, check on the beetle, and then keep playing. The bug stayed with us almost the entire time we played. We wanted to protect the beetle. Luckily, we succeeded. What are you protecting or caring for these days?

“The reign of God belongs to children and everyone who, like children, is not granted polite society’s respect and acceptance.

The children, then, are a metaphor for all who lack societal status, who so-called decent folk find distasteful and undesirable. The migrant worker. The immigrant. The alien. The homeless. The powerless. The undocumented. Harking back to Deuteronomy 24:17-22, where God commands the people to care for the socially downtrodden because they themselves had been beaten down in Egypt, Jesus issues a clear, if not controversial, command for his followers. They are to live as an ekklesia, a “church.” And this church is to exist in this world as a refuge of radical welcome.”

“The disciples, feeling the weight of being seen as serious leaders alongside their rabbi, Jesus, may have tried to preserve a sense of reverence by shooing away the parents bringing their children to him. Yet here, Jesus reorients his disciples (and us) away from the illusion of control and reminds us that it is the joyful, unruly, sincere presence of a child to whom the kingdom truly belongs.”
