Page Four — April 29, 2012 Saint Anthony Catholic Church Scripture Reflections of FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER LIVING IVING the WORD Sunday, April 29, 2012 TODAY'S FOCUS: WANTED...GOOD SHEPHERDS Artistic expressions of Jesus as the Good Shepherd were created in the earliest days of the Church. This was one of the most comforting images during times of persecution. He called others to shepherd in His name. They were not perfect people, but they became good at shepherding, transformed by the power of the Resurrection life. Consider Peter. FIRST READING There is no salvation through anyone else (Acts 4:8-12). Peter gives a speech to the Sanhedrin concerning the healing that he performed on the cripple. Although this is technically a simple justification of his actions, it is actually a type of kerygma (for in it he proclaims the truth of the events surrounding the death of Jesus). He is telling the Jewish leaders that by their actions they have rejected the source of salvation whom Yahweh had sent to Israel. The implied message is that, if they do not change their ways and stop inhibiting the proclamation of the Word of the Lord, then they will be rejected (even as they will have rejected Jesus by their actions). SECOND READING We shall see God as He really is (1 John 3:1-2). We are given the status as children of God and what that means for us. We are told toward the end of the reading that we already share in a great honor for we are already called God’s children. Yet, this is only the beginning. When we pass from this world to the next, we will share in God’s glory. GOSPEL The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep (John 10:11-18). During the Babylonian exile (587 BC) there was a theme popular among the Prophets that God had appointed shepherds to Israel (their kings and priests), but these shepherds had misled God’s people. Therefore, God Himself would be Israel’s shepherd and lead her in His own ways. In this Gospel, Jesus is in the temple for the Feast of the Dedication. One of the Scripture passages proclaimed during that feast was taken from Ezekiel the Prophet. It was the passage that proclaimed God as our shepherd. When Jesus spoke of Himself being the Good Shepherd, He was applying that prophecy to Himself. He speaks in tremendously affectionate terms of His care and concern for His flock. He calls them by name, for He knows them like no one else knows them. He will give His life for them. He will protect them from all dangers (especially dangers of sin and death and alienation). REFLECTION Peter is a wonderful example of someone growing into the role of a good shepherd. His calling was evident from the beginning, when Jesus summoned him and his brother Andrew while they were casting their nets into the sea: “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of [people]” (Mark 1:17). We know Peter as the first to confess Jesus as Messiah, but also as someone who did not understand what this would mean both for Jesus and His followers: the Cross. We know Peter was not afraid to ask questions along the lines of “What are we going to get out of being disciples?” or even say the wrong thing (“You shall never wash my feet!”). And, perhaps most importantly, we know Peter folded when the chips were down, denying he ever knew Jesus. This same Peter boldly preaches Jesus as raised by God for the salvation of all who believe. He preaches not only outside the Upper Room on Pentecost, but in the synagogue soon after, then twice before the Sanhedrin (the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem), and finally in the house of the Roman centurion Cornelius. What explains this transformation from denying follower to charismatic leader? Paul tells us in one of his letters (1 Corinthians 15:5) that the risen Lord appeared to Kephas (the Aramaic name for Peter). And Luke records the descent of the Spirit upon those in the Upper Room (Acts 2:4). All of this reminds us that God’s power at work in us is the key to having and being a good shepherd.
