Isaiah 66: 18-21
Psalm 117: 1-2
Hebrews 12: 5-7, 11-13
Luke 13: 22-30
In the Cultural World of Jesus (Cycle C), John J. Pilch writes this about the puzzling words of this Sunday's Gospel:
It is not enough to have shared a meal with Jesus. A radical change of life is also necessary to establish a kinship relationship with him.
Jesus' contemporaries remind him: "You taught in our streets." Jesus' harsh reply to them insinuates: "Yes, but all you did was listen. You did not take my teaching to heart and reform your lives. You think superficial acquaintance with me and all my teachings suffices." Jesus offers a prophetic warning to believers of all times.
- What message of Scripture has challenged you?
- Have you change because of it? Why? Why Not?
