Jesus' Enduring Questions: What do you have?

We continue sitting with Jesus' enduring questions that expose reality and invite us to repentance this Lenten season. Dave contrasts the two banquets in Mark 6—Herod’s feast of power and violence, and Jesus’ feast of compassion and life—to show how God’s kingdom confronts evil differently.

Jesus invites his followers to become “under-shepherds” who both resist external injustice and cultivate soft, compassionate hearts, refusing the false choice between social action and personal holiness. By asking, “What do you have? Go and see,” Jesus calls us to offer what we have to him so he can multiply it into a kingdom banquet of care for the vulnerable.
