Reflecting on the Lectionary Texts for the Third Sunday in Lent (RCL Year C)
Sunday Mar 20, 2022
Sunday Mar 20, 2022
This is the third of what has been a three part series of adult spiritual formation / education (Sunday School) classes that I recently finished teaching at St. Charles Presbyterian Church (USA), here in March of 2022. The date for this particular recording was March 20, 2022. During this series, I lead discussion of the Revised Common Lectionary texts for these Sundays in Lent. Many thanks to my sisters and brothers who joined in the conversation.
This Sunday's readings were:
Isaiah 55:1-9
Psalm 63:1-81
1 Corinthians 10:1-13
Luke 13:1-9
You can access these readings here.
We discussed things like:
Spiritualizing vs eschatological / apocalyptic approaches to the Judeo-Christian tradition in these texts
More on Judaism, Christianity, and the perils of supercessionism
A God-inspired vision of what the world could be if we could "buy...without money" and not "labor of that which does not satisfy"
God's people as attracting the interest of the nations and drawing them in rather than a geographically expansionist view
A moral interpretation for God's thoughts and ways being different than ours
Allegorical interpretation in Paul even if the Reformers didn't much care for it as an interpretive strategy
Bad things don't happen to you because you're a bad person
