“Anyone who starts plowing and keeps looking back isn't worth a thing to God's kingdom!” -Jesus of Nazareth (Luke 9:62)
Jesus’ public announcement that his calling was taking him to Jerusalem set up four teachable moments. Each suggests that it can take a while for Jesus’ followers to get it right. Following Jesus is costly; it challenges societal norms.
Elisha also made his new call public by burning his plow, grilling his oxen, and eating with his co-workers (1 Kings 19:15-21).
Patriotism is defined as love of one’s country and a desire for its well being. America is one of a few nations which equate patriotism with war. But the greatest enemies we face as a nation are internal: poverty, injustice, violence, and declining quality in health care, education and housing. How sacrificial and public should our individual and congregational calls be to defeat these internal national enemies?
Come and worship Jesus, our center and cornerstone who chooses us as we are and transforms us into ambassadors of peace in God’s world.
