His accent would immediately mark him out as \u201cnot one of us,\u201d and all the communal prejudice of the supposedly superior culture of the capital city would stand against his claim to be heard even as a prophet, let alone as the \u201cMessiah,\u201d a title which, as everyone knew, belonged to Judea.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The gospels are filled with lots of characters.<br \/>\nPeter is a my favorites: the rock<br \/>\nwho is the only person Jesus calls Satan.<br \/>\nTake that Pope Peter!<\/p>\n<p>But as in many good tales, geography is also an important actor.<br \/>\nJust think of the Lord of the Rings books and movies:<br \/>\nthe Shire, Middle Earth, Mordor, and Gondor,<br \/>\neach a character with its own implied morality. [2]<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, geography is an important gospel character,<br \/>\nmost dramatically in the Gospel of Luke<br \/>\nwhich pivots when Jesus turns toward Jerusalem (9:51)<br \/>\nbut also, here in Matthew.<\/p>\n<p>It both fascinating and enlightening for me<br \/>\nto consider Jesus not only as a bumpkin from a backwater town<br \/>\n(\u201ccould any good come from Nazareth?\u201d (John 1:46))<br \/>\nbut that Jesus was also from a part of the country<br \/>\nthat has a reputation for being rebellious, independent<br \/>\nand maybe even what one commentator labels<br \/>\na hot bed of \u201cbanditry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jesus the rebel, Jesus the free thinker, Jesus the bandit:<br \/>\nnow there\u2019s a string of titles<br \/>\nyou probably haven\u2019t heard before.<\/p>\n<p>There is strong evidence that we have deep affection for bandits,<br \/>\nrebels and apple-cart upsetters.<br \/>\nWhile appropriately sterilized for public consumption,<br \/>\nthink about the way we cheer on Butch Cassidy<br \/>\nand his Sundance buddy,<br \/>\nCaptain Jack Sparrow, our favorite Disney Pirate,<br \/>\nand Robin Hood and his many contemporary reincarnations.<\/p>\n<p>Like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/education\/archive\/2014\/12\/the-minister-who-went-to-jail-for-financial-aid-fraud\/383584\/\"> Ozel Clifford Brazil,<\/a> African Methodist Episcopal Minister<br \/>\nwho went to prison for financial aid fraud<br \/>\nnot for trying to get his own kids into USC or Stanford<br \/>\n(thank you, Lori Laughlin),<br \/>\nbut for getting an estimated 18,000 students<br \/>\nfrom LA\u2019s inner city into universities around the country.<\/p>\n<p>Quite frankly I think part of the charm of Prince Harry<br \/>\nis his 2nd child rambunctiousness<br \/>\n(I say that as a second child)<br \/>\nand his amiable way of popping monarchical balloons and<br \/>\ndeflating dirigibles launched from the house of Windsor;<br \/>\nhe is a contemporary definition of the lovable rogue.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus as charming bandit maybe pushing the limits here<br \/>\nbut in today\u2019s gospel he easily stole two professional fishermen<br \/>\naway from their nets and wives<br \/>\nand absconded with two others from their father\u2019s business<br \/>\nwith apparently little less than a wink and a smile.<br \/>\nWhile no prince, he must have been charming.<\/p>\n<p>But the unique revelation in Jesus\u2019 banditry is that<br \/>\nit did not diminish but only uplift others,<br \/>\nultimately not himself<br \/>\nexcept on a cross.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus did metaphorically steal from the rich, the elite, the clergy:<br \/>\nhe punctured their pomposity<br \/>\ntheir overblown piety<br \/>\nand their self-inflated dignity<br \/>\nand raised up the marginalized,<br \/>\nthe leprous,<br \/>\nthe adulterous, and widowed and despised.<\/p>\n<p>But in doing so Bandit Jesus did not deprive<br \/>\nthe rich, the elite, the clergy from kingdom richness<br \/>\nbut instead invited them into new richness<br \/>\nthrough a narrow gate<br \/>\ninviting them to bow low as he did in his own incarnation.<\/p>\n<p>Most compelling for me<br \/>\nis that this <em>Christo Bandito<\/em><br \/>\never had a self-aggrandizing agenda.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t know that the gospels were going to be a best seller,<br \/>\nso didn\u2019t get the 20 million dollars advance that Harry did<br \/>\nfor authoring <em>Spare<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus\u2019 final payment was splayed out on a cross<br \/>\nproviding the ultimate restitution for all our sin<br \/>\nfor all of our reluctance to love.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, this only-begotten bandit<br \/>\nstole dehumanization back from humanity,<br \/>\nstole marginalization back from the marginalized,<br \/>\nstole abuse back from the abused,<br \/>\nstole distain back from the distained,<br \/>\nstole despair from the despairing,<br \/>\nand stole the sting from death from all of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>In a word \u2013 one reverberating through today\u2019s Psalm \u2013<br \/>\nJesus stole back darkness from every darkened heart<br \/>\nand planted light in every point on the map willing to kindle it<br \/>\nin every community wanting to embrace it,<br \/>\nin every baptized who accepted that modest candle,<br \/>\nand in every soul hoping and dreaming of stepping into the sun.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s that problematic \u201cso what\u201d<br \/>\nwhich rears its demanding head<br \/>\nevery time we plunge into the mystery of God.<\/p>\n<p>In the spirit of this divine Bandit, we are unexpectedly invited<br \/>\ninto the piracy of God,<br \/>\nthe Robin Hood mission of the only-begotten<br \/>\nbaptized not just to be disciples<br \/>\nbut maybe even holy marauders.<\/p>\n<p>Half the joy of being with this community for 16 years<br \/>\nis that you let me say such outrageous things<br \/>\nin my own attempt to untame God\u2019s Word in my life<br \/>\nand the outrageous incarnation of that Word in Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>There is yet so much darkness, greed, prejudice among us,<br \/>\nin our workplaces and schools and church<br \/>\nand most problematic in my family and maybe yours.<\/p>\n<p>We are commissioned to kidnap it<br \/>\nsubvert it,<br \/>\noppose it,<br \/>\nand reject it.<br \/>\nIn place of the stolen darkness, greed and intolerance<br \/>\nwe replant Christ light,<br \/>\nJesus hope,<br \/>\nmaverick hospitality,<br \/>\ncrucified love,<br \/>\nand Gospel peace.<\/p>\n<p>I have to be careful not to invoke a favorite text too often<br \/>\nbecause it could be misconstrued<br \/>\nas pushing a Franciscan agenda<br \/>\nin this diocesan parish<br \/>\npresided over by a Jesuit pastor\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But I gladly risk the subversion again this morning,<br \/>\nin the spirit of a Jesuit pope<br \/>\nsmart enough not to call himself Ignatius but Francis<br \/>\nand pray:<\/p>\n<p><em>Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Where there is hatred, let me sow love;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>where there is injury, pardon;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>where there is doubt, faith;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>where there is despair, hope;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>where there is darkness, light;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>and where there is sadness, joy.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to be consoled as to console;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to be understood as to understand;<\/em><br \/>\n<em>to be loved as to love.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>For it is in giving that we receive;<\/em><br
