According to Jesus, the ways of discipleship are deeply counter-cultural. Want to be a follower of Jesus? Give your life for others in order to save it. Strive to be at the back of the line instead of the front. Turn the “ladder” of honor and privilege upside down. In fact, dismantle it altogether. Be with and for one another in ways that defy cultural norms but that encircle all God’s children into a communion of neighborly love.
