New Testament 181

 

 

The Roman Forum
A scene within the ruins of the Forum Romanum in Rome. The Son of God didn’t come to earth here, but, rather, in Palestine, a distant backwater province of the Empire, among the lower socio-economic classes.

Luke 10:21-24

Compare Matthew 11:25-27; 13:16-17; John 3:35; 7:29; 10:14-15; 13:3; 17:2, 15

 

For some reason, the Lord doesn’t seem inclined to reveal himself principally to the faculty club at Harvard or through the New York Review of Books.  Instead, he calls people who are ignored or even disdained by the self-anointed cultural elite.  Not just anciently, but today.

 

I sense a pattern.
