Christians have learned to distract ourselves with minutiae while we dismiss the revolutionary import of Christ's words.
John J. Pilch
Jesus is asking the elite to behave toward strangers just as they would behave toward members of their own household. He is urging the haves to treat have-nots as if they were family.
Many people seek to discover God's mercy and faithfulness from the sacred books, and yet, when their learning is done, they live for their own sakes and not for God's.
Dennis
Hamm, SJ
David and Jesus have more in common than may at first be apparent.
Reginald H. Fuller
The biblical ethic is essentially one of response to God’s treatment of his people—this is true both in the Old Testament and in the New.
