Sorry, folks. I was several paragraphs into this synopsis and the internet deleted my work! Argh!
Since time doesn't allow me to recreate it, let me say this about Luke 7: each story reinforces Luke's theme of finding faith in the most unlikely of people, and finding criticism and closed minds where faith should be strongest.
That has been my experience, too. Some of the most loving and faith-filled people I know do not fit the category of "good, church going folks." And unfortunately, those with the deepest commitment to the trappings of religion can sometimes be the worst bullies. Only God sees our hearts. And only God can heal them.
