| Jesus brings the bigger party even now. ... Love cannot be silent. (32:30 - 1:09:30 mark) |
Jesus hung out with people who were wealthy enough to throw the kind of parties that earned Him a reputation. This does not fit with my mental image of Jesus. In my mind He usually appears sober and disappointed with the world, just like I am. … But here we have Jesus, a storytelling agitator who ate and drank His fill in a world full of suffering. I don’t understand it. Jesus modeled how to live in a world where affluence and poverty coexist side by side, just like they do in my own city. I think Jesus understood the importance of both lament and celebration, and that there was a time for each. + D.L. Mayfield
Israel Houghton & New Breed, 2012 A.D. Lord, You are good And Your mercy endureth forever! Lord, You are good And Your mercy endureth forever! People from every nation and tongue From generation to generation ... We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah! We worship You for who You are. We worship You! Hallelujah, Hallelujah! We worship You for who You are. You are Good! You are good all the time! All the time, You are good! Matt Maher, 2013 A.D. You are not alone, if you are lonely, When you're feeling frail, you're not the only. We are all the same, in need of mercy, to be forgiven and free. It's all you got to lean on but, thank God, it's all you need! And all the people said "Amen!" Woah, and all the people said "Amen!" Give thanks to the Lord for His love never ends, And all the people said "Amen!" If your rich or poor, well it don't matter. Weak or strong, we know love is what we're after. We're all broken, but we're all in this together. God knows we stumble and fall And He so loved the world He sent His Son to save us all! (Chorus) Blessed are the poor in spirit who are torn apart! Blessed are the persecuted and the pure in heart! Blessed are the people hungry for another start For this is the Kingdom, the Kingdom of God!
