The 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus is the only way to salvation. Without his saving death, and resurrection from the dead, there would be no salvation for anybody.
He is calling all of us to be disciples.
Discipleship is total commitment. What makes a disciple is the decision to carry out the Lord’s priorities day after day. Disciples make the Lord’s priorities their priorities.
If we decide to follow Jesus’ invitation to be disciples, he will give us a taste of who and what he really is. Once we’ve had that, nothing else is the same again. Once we perceive Jesus for who he really is, the only response that makes sense is total. Anything else is insane.
When we become disciples our lifestyles change, our priorities change, our conversations change…
If you want to be his disciple, pick up your cross and follow Jesus. The call from Jesus is to be total for him. There is a cost, but the rewards are incredible.
