Quotes by Jennifer Garcia Bashaw (?)

“What we discover about Jesus through the stories of first-century victims should give us new insight not only into the character and mission of Jesus’s kingdom but into how we might pursue that mission in our society today. The hope is that by recognizing the scapegoating of the past and grasping the powerful freedom that Jesus offers victims, we can end the practice of scapegoating in the church and imitate Jesus in his love for the vulnerable and victimized. In the end, we may discover that we are more likely to encounter Jesus in the bleeding body of a Mexican immigrant than in the pulpit of a church. Then we will realize why the Jesus story is, at its very heart, a scapegoat’s story.”

“In Luke, participating in the reign of God takes much more than a prayer of commitment or a dunk in the baptismal waters. It involves giving up possessions, privilege, and power and casting your lot in with the poor. Jesus is calling us to no less than a complete reversal of the priorities we have embraced under the capitalistic, individualistic reign of America.”

“What did it mean for Jesus to use jubilee language in his ministry’s mission statement? Scholars conclude that Jubilee was probably not practiced in Israel’s history, but if it had been, the economic result would have been dramatic.4 Every fifty years, land would have been returned to the smaller households or family units, which would mean that clan lands could not be controlled by one or two powerful families. Under this practice, oppression of the poor would have been severely limited. That means that from beginning to end—from “good news to the poor” to “year of the Lord’s favor” (Luke 4:18–19)—Jesus outlines a mission that offers relief to the poor and oppressed.”
