Weary, No, But Rather, Steadfast
Jesus, the Suffering Servant, brings true justice. He does not grow weary. Nor does he rest till he brings justice...
Foreigner No More, but Fellow Citizen
Christ Jesus preaches the Good News of peace to all. To be his means to be a foreigner no more, but fellow citizen...
Living Faith of Useless Servants
Jesus is the source and summit of our faith. We fix our eyes on him so that we may always have a steadfast and living...
Seek First, Yes, the Kingdom of God
Jesus is the gate; those who go in through him will be saved. Their concern is to seek first the kingdom of God and his justice.
Price of the Peace of Christ Jesus
Christ Jesus is our peace. For he makes us one with God and each other through the cross. Hence, this peace comes at a great price, not of silver or gold, but of Christ’s body and blood. As he teaches his disciples to trust God, and not wealth, Jesus seems to go...
True to Jesus and to His Words
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. He wants us to be true to him and to his words; strange teachings of all kinds must not carry us away. Last Sunday, we heard the teaching, “Take care to guard against all greed.” But have we Christians been...

Better and More than Other Things
Jesus has the words of life, and his flesh is true food and his blood true drink. To go to him is better and worth more than all things. It is better and more honest to say from the start what the text on Martha and Mary is about. To do so is to be fair to Luke...
Close to the Blessed according to Jesus
Jesus, the Word made flesh, dwells in our midst. Through him, God, whom we do not see, draws close to us and makes himself known. There seems to be hope for the man the robbers have left on the road to die. For, by chance, a priest goes down that road. Yet he does...
Forerunners of the Bearer of the Good News
Jesus is the Good News of God’s kingdom in person. He sends his forerunners to towns and places where he plans to go.
Last of the Last Servants of Christ
Jesus is first since he is last; he is Lord since he is Servant. He wants his disciples to be like him, that is, last and servants of all. The New Testament portrays Peter as the first in so many ways of all the apostles. And Paul, of course, the least and last of...
