Mal 3:1-4/ Lk 2:22-40 or 2:22-32
It begins! Jesus is doing something new. “He left Nazareth
and went to live in Capernaum by the sea.” Jesus leaves
his family, his profession of carpentry, and everything he
has known and loved for the previous 30 years. He goes
because it is time. Something new is beginning, and Jesus
will not begin it alone. “As he was walking by the Sea of
Galilee, he saw two brothers … he walked along from the-
re and saw two other brothers.” What does he say to these
men? “Come after me.” These words are for Peter and An-
drew, for James and for John. They are also for all of us.
“Come after me.” The adventure of discipleship will be
strange, wild, and unexpected. The Apostles surely didn’t
know what they were getting into. But the invitation is ac-
companied by a promise. “I will make you fishers of men,”
Jesus tells the first Apostles. No more will their priorities
be limited to this particular village, to the square miles of
the Sea of Galilee. Their eyes will be open to the kingdom
of God, and their priorities will shift.
Most of us will not be called to roam the countryside, but
we are invited to a similar shift of priorities. “Come after
me,” Jesus says. “At once they left their nets and followed
him.” Drop the nets of what you’ve demanded your life to
be. Drop your self-seeking priorities. Drop your concept of
religion as a Sunday obligation and no more. Drop your
disregard for those outside your immediate social sphere.
Whatever it is that keeps you from seeing as Jesus sees,
from loving as he loves, start to drop it today. Because the
kingdom of God is waiting for your yes!
