They are disturbing and they leave us disturbed. The Old Testament reading recounts a young man's radical break with the past to follow a new path. The Gospel describes how life as we know it is abruptly changed if we follow the call of Christ. The psalm and Paul assure us that such life-altering change is possible only because of the power of God's love. We are presented with a stark choice. To love as God loves, we must leave our old lives behind. We must leave behind not just the bad, the selfish, and the evil but the ordinary, our daily work, and the important, our families, our lives. Loving as God loves requires a radical transformation, not a smooth transition. NEVER CAN SAY GOOD-BYE In First Kings, Elijah chooses Elisha to be his successor and requires that he leave behind his work, his family, and all the niceties of conventional life, like saying good-bye. It is not easy for Elisha to take up the mantle, to abandon all that he knows and loves. But he does it. The psalm and Galatians remind us that, when all that is familiar is gone, God offers us a refuge and a new freedom. Luke insists that all the niceties of life must be left behind by Jesus and those who would follow him to his suffering, death, and resurrection. But none of those niceties, however important they seem at the time, is necessary for those who choose the radical life of suffering, death, resurrection, and love. It is a stark choice and a difficult one but it is the only choice that offer perfect love. LOVE AS GOD LOVES We do not get to put things away, to say good-byes, or to take care of business. To love as God loves means seeing our neighbors as if nothing else matters but our love for them. We get a glimpse of this when someone we love is near death. Nothing matters but that one person and our love for them. All of the rest of our life falls away and we are left with a single focus, a single vision of that person stripped of all the attachments to position, title, history, future. We see them as God sees them. There is only this one moment, a moment of eternity penetrating time, because nothing else matters but our love for the one whom we soon will lose. This is the depth and breadth of God's love for us. We can share this kind of love, but only if we let go of everything else. Today's Readings: 1 Kgs 19:16b, 19-21; Ps 16:1-2, 5, 7-11; Gal 5:1, 13-18; Luke 9:51-62 2016 Vacation Bible School St. John the Evangelist VBS (Vacation Bible School) “A Wilderness Journey: The 12 Tribes of Israel” July 11-15, 2016 Our office will be closed Friday, July 1 and Monday, July 4 in observance of Independence Day.
