Disciples to the bitter end<\/em><\/h4>\n

Jesus is the good Teacher.\u00a0 He invites us to be his disciples.<\/p>\n

Jesus is resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem with his disciples.\u00a0 There, he will suffer greatly and die on the cross.\u00a0 The specter of a violent death does not make him turn back.<\/p>\n

Much less does the lack of hospitality on the part the Samaritans stop Jesus.\u00a0 He does not overreact. \u00a0He is unlike James and John.\u00a0 Both suggest the destruction of the Samaritans.\u00a0 He corrects the two, as every good teacher would do.<\/p>\n

The Teacher exemplifies the way to cope with rejection.\u00a0 He teaches at the same time that those who wish to come after him will have to be peacemakers, true children of the common Father of all.\u00a0 Genuine disciples rise above petty ethnic, cultural or religious considerations.<\/p>\n

Jesus makes clear, too, that to follow him means not to mistake true security for the comfort that earthly goods afford.\u00a0 Disciples cannot be as foolish as that greedy rich man who says to himself, \u201cRest, eat, drink and be merry!\u201d<\/p>\n

God made human beings for something much bigger than just physical comfort.\u00a0 He made us for himself.\u00a0 Authentic disciples know this and confess that human hearts are restless and insecure until they rest in God and enjoy his peace and justice.<\/p>\n

All discipleship depends, of course, on Jesus.\u00a0 From him comes the invitation, \u201cFollow me.\u201d\u00a0 They do not choose him, but rather he chooses them so that they may bear fruit. Without the Teacher, the disciples can do nothing.\u00a0 The humble acknowledgment that God \u201calone is the author of every good thing\u201d (SV.EN VII:305<\/a>) is key to discerning true disciples from impostors.<\/p>\n

The good thing is that Jesus invites all, as the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard teaches.\u00a0 He does not settle for the petty calculations of \u201cpeople who imagine a God devoted to carefully noting the sins and merits of human beings, to someday give back to each one exactly according to what he deserves (Jos\u00e9 Antonio Pagola<\/a>).\u00a0 The hours worked, many or few, do not matter to Jesus.\u00a0 Everything is due to his generosity, and not to our works.<\/p>\n

Disciples mistrust their own works.\u00a0 They put their complete trust in Jesus\u2019 generosity.\u00a0 The same generosity impels them to follow him to the end.\u00a0 So, they leave everything in order to live with him in freedom.\u00a0 They recognize the absolute claim he has on them.\u00a0 They work with him with resolve in bringing the Good News to the poor, in furthering the kingdom of God and his righteousness, in revealing the authentic face of God, whose \u201cdistinctive feature is mercy\u201d (SV.EN XI:328<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, feed us with your word and bread, or else the journey will be long for us.<\/em><\/p>\n
