Jesus declares that true religion requires us to become unattached from the world and to care for those with the least. Taken literally, it means we should become homeless to help the homeless. If the cross has a no-occupancy sign, how can we live a more realistic, yet just as true faith?
Jesus spoke against the Pharisees practice of religion, claiming they were hypocrites. Some read this passage and say Jesus didn't like religion. On the contrary, Jesus wanted us to practice our religion in ways that change our hearts to love God, love our neighbors, and help heal the suffering in the world.
