Hear what Jesus is really saying.
Subtext is the hidden message behind what we say. It’s like reading between the lines. For example, when someone starts a sentence with “With all due respect,” they’re usually about to criticize you. Or when someone offers you gum, they might be hinting that your breath smells bad. Jesus was a master at using subtext. He used it to speak truth and challenge corrupt religious practices. By studying how Jesus used subtext, we can learn how to confront corruption in our own lives.
