Matthew: hearing & sharing Good News
Morning: Psalm 119:41-64; Isaiah 8:11-20; Romans 10:1-15
Today
is St. Matthew’s Day. Matthew’s parables – the treasure, the pearl,
and the net – make it clear: Jesus wants Good News shared. When you
have something of great value, you can hoard it or share it. Sharing is
Matthew’s calling; he ‘casts the net’ widely … sharing Good News with
all. You may or may not respond. If someone tells you where to find
treasure, you probably go look there. If you don’t listen, the treasure
remains unknown, undiscovered. You can’t share what you don’t know … so
listen and grow rich in understanding, but don’t keep it to yourself!
