Morning: Psalms 131, 132; Exodus 7:25-8:19; 2 Corinthians 3:7-18
Evening: Psalms 140, 142; Mark 10:17-31
Jesus
is uncompromising in demanding discipleship: “Come, follow me”. He
declares a new reality, which the Gospel calls the Age to come. This is
not some otherworldly ‘heaven’, but a new Age on the earth. Jesus’s
call brooks no compromises … you cannot be a part of the Age to come if
you hang onto the empty idols that possess you, especially wealth. Down
through time, some have thought they could buy the new Age. ‘What must
I do to get it?’ the rich young man asks … Jesus says, simply, “Sell
what you have and ... follow me”.
Daily readings, thoughts from Graham. Pilgrims on the Way to the shrine of the apostle James in Spain shout a greeting to one another: “Ultreya!”; "Keep going", "Press on", “Onward”.
