Pharisee babe

Lection meditation Luke 20:19-26

The problem with all the imaginative depictions of the Pharisees in art and film is that they look like what they are inside. So they're all kind of craggy and nasty. That can't be how they really looked. They were probably tall, dark and handsome, with shining eyes that gazed compellingly at folk. Try imagining them that way and see what it reveals. The beautiful and powerful vs. he who had no comeliness.
