BibleWorm

BibleWorm continues our Narrative Lectionary series with Mark 10:32-52, the third and final time Jesus predicts his death and resurrection, the request of James and John to sit at Jesus’s right and left hand when he comes in glory, and the story of a blind man named Bartimaeus, who asks Jesus for mercy. We talk about the human struggle to imagine power structures different from those of the empire, Jesus’s invitation to the disciples to share in his suffering if not in his glory, and the need to discern when to cry out for mercy and when to fall in line without drawing attention to ourselves.
