"No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to
what was left behind is fit for the kingdom of God."
What have we left behind? What have we traded in
to become faithful followers of Christ?
The answer is different for all of us. Some of us
can tell the tale of a dramatic conversion story,
leaving behind a life of blatantly selfish indulgence
or obviously sinful behavior in order to embrace the
call of Jesus. Others of us have been Christians since
the day of our baptism as infants and have always
walked the path of belief, but perhaps can trace
certain moments when we embraced a deeper
commitment and resolved to abandon particular
behaviors, relationships, or worldly priorities that
were in conflict with our faith. Whatever the case,
Jesus instructs us today not to look to "what was left
behind." Instead, we are called to keep our focus on
what lies ahead, namely, life in Christ and the
ultimate hope of union with him in heaven.
Keeping this focus can be quite a challenge.
So often, it's tempting to think that the grass is
greener on the other side. As Christians, we can fall
into the trap of imagining that it might feel better to
be ... something or someone else. Perhaps, seeing
others around us whose lives are not shaped by their
faith, we might think they have it easier than we do.
Or perhaps we get lost and stuck in reminiscence
about the way things were in the past, and thus get
distracted from the mission that stands in front of us
today with appreciation. Thoughts like these are not
fit for our new life as disciples of Christ. As St. Paul
says in today's epistle, "For freedom Christ set us
free." May we embrace the gift of this true freedom
and follow Christ without looking back.
Thank you all who already made pledges.
Please remember to begin paying your pledge.
If you haven’t made a pledge pray fully consider
making a one, any amount welcomed.
