Weekly Reflection

He Came To Give

10-20-2024  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

Jesus was not very explicit when he called the disciples. “Come, follow me” is a pretty vague invitation. But over time the disciples came to realize their mission. Jesus set an example for them, teaching, healing, and forgiving those who came to him. He even invited the disciples to go out in pairs and do the same. But all this recent talk about the kingdom and eternal life has distracted them. James and John decided to ask Jesus for a special place in this eternal kingdom. It is time for Jesus to summon the Twelve all over again to remind them of their mission. The goal of Christ’s mission is service, not glory. The focus is on others, not oneself. Jesus “did not come to be served but to serve” (Mark 10:45). When we were first called, we may not have understood our mission. Certainly not if we were baptized as babies! Sometimes we need to be summoned again. And again. Out of love for our neighbor, we are called to sacrifice our own desires, our own possessions (recalling last Sunday’s Gospel), and even our own lives. Let us work to recognize Christ in our neighbor, making us eager to serve others.

What will you do this week to serve others in a new way?


El Vino A Dar

Jesús no fue muy explícito cuando llamó a los discípulos. “Ven y sígueme” es una invitación bastante vaga. Pero con el tiempo los discípulos se dieron cuenta de su misión. Jesús les dio el ejemplo, enseñando, sanando y perdonando a quienes acudían a él. Incluso invitó a los discípulos a salir de dos en dos y hacer lo mismo. Pero toda esta charla reciente sobre el reino y la vida eterna los ha distraído. Santiago y Juan decidieron pedirle a Jesús un lugar especial en este reino eterno. Es hora de que Jesús vuelva a convocar a los Doce para recordarles su misión. El objetivo de la misión de Cristo es el servicio, no la gloria. El enfoque está en los demás, no en uno mismo. Jesús “no vino para ser servido, sino para servir” (Marcos 10:45). Cuando fuimos llamados por primera vez, es posible que no hayamos entendido nuestra misión. ¡Ciertamente no si fuimos bau zados cuando éramos bebés! A veces necesitamos que nos convoquen de nuevo. Y otra vez. Por amor al prójimo, estamos llamados a sacrificar nuestros propios deseos, nuestras propias posesiones (recordando el Evangelio del domingo pasado), incluso nuestra propia vida. Trabajemos para reconocer a Cristo en nuestro prójimo, lo que nos hará estar deseosos de servir a los demás.

¿Qué harás esta semana para servir a los demás de una manera nueva?
