Christ in the Poor and Imprisoned

“Christ in the Poor and Imprisoned” forms the topic for the third of four quarters addressing themes of care for our neighbors. Jesus promised when we care for the hungry, those lacking clothing, and the imprisoned, we are caring for him. Jesus and his disciples, as well as many prophets from the Hebrew Scriptures, found themselves imprisoned unjustly, and Jesus’ challenging call to wealthy would-be followers to sell everything and follow him echoes through the ages. We explore the themes of poverty and imprisonment, abundant life and Christ’s liberating power—in both spiritual and material aspects—in this topical study of Scripture.
