The Woes of the Impenitent
Because the proclamation of the gospel is the word of God, it is not to be treated as a merely human message — “take it or leave it.” In rejecting the preachers, they were not simply rejecting a couple of poor itinerants, but the very kingdom of God, and that has serious consequences for closing ears and hearts to the news of God’s reign – the people have drawn down judgment on themselves Jesus…
Peace to this household
This coming Sunday is the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time during lectionary cycle C. The gospel is taken from Luke, chapter 10. The instructions for how the disciples should receive hospitality are expanded from 9:4, which simply commanded that they stay wherever they were received. Here the instruction has two parts, with commentary on each: (1) say, “Peace to this house,” and (2) remain in the…
The Urgency of the Harvest and Risk of Mission
This coming Sunday is the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time during lectionary cycle C. The gospel is taken from Luke, chapter 10. 2 He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. 3 Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves. 4 Carry no money bag, no sack, no sandals; and greet no one…
Appointing and Instructing the Missioners
This coming Sunday is the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time during lectionary cycle C. The gospel is taken from Luke, chapter 10. 1 After this the Lord appointed seventy (-two) others whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. Only the Gospel of Luke contains two episodes in which Jesus sends out his followers on a mission: the first (Luke 9:1–6) recounts the…
The First Mission - Setting the Scene
This coming Sunday, the gospel is taken from Luke 10, but it is perhaps good to “set the scene” before we jump in the reading. Luke 8 is a chapter that offers several miracle accounts (calming the storm at sea, the healing of the Gerasene demoniac, and the healing of Jairus’s daughter and the woman with a hemorrhage) but it also contains the parable of the Sower and of the Lamp. These parables…
The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of God
1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.…
