Jesus was tried and convicted for being a “superstar” who was rocking the world with his vision of a new a world order where power and wealth no longer belonged only to those in authority but is shared. He championed the poor, the sick, the criminals, all who lived at bottom of society. The Son of God, his superstar status was a threat to the Jewish leaders as well as the Romans. Like many rebels who have fought the status quo, he paid the price with his earthly life. The hope of the Kingdom of God continues through all those who continue to do his work and continue to fight injustice. I really can relate to these readings and their message because I listen to music that questions society’s intransigent structures and calls for reform.
