Jesus' kingdom message has always elicited very different responses from different kinds of people. To the poor and the oppressed, his message is like cold water to a parched soul. To the rich and the powerful, however, his message can be more than a little unsettling. Are we willing to hear Jesus' words for what they are? Are we willing to ask what the implications may be for us - some of the most wealthy, advantaged and opportunity-laden people on the planet?\n\nSpecial thanks to Dave Johnson, Glen Stassen, and Brian Zahnd for their contributions to this message.
