Reflection – Gospel
Today's Gospel reading begins a long section unique to Luke's Gospel. Jesus begins
his journey to Jerusalem, which will end with his ministry in Jerusalem. We read that
Jesus' days for being “taken up” were fulfilled. The Greek word that Luke uses for
“taken up” is the same word he uses to describe the Ascension. We also read that
Jesus is determined to journey to Jerusalem. For Luke, Jesus ministry begins in
Galilee and then is one long journey to Jerusalem. In Jerusalem he will meet his death
but also enter into his glory. Only in Luke does Jesus then spend 40 days in Jerusalem
instructing his disciples. It is in Jerusalem that his disciples wait after his Ascension to
be sent the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. And it is from Jerusalem, in Luke's second
volume, the Acts of the Apostles, that the Good News is spread to Rome and the ends
of the earth.
Immediately Jesus is met with rejection, as a Samaritan village will not receive him
because he is going to Jerusalem. There was animosity between Samaritans who
worshiped on Mount Gerazim and Jews who worshiped in Jerusalem. Jesus was also
rejected as he began his ministry in Galilee in Chapter 4. And he will be rejected for
the last time when he reaches Jerusalem. James and John want to call down fire from
heaven to destroy the people in the village, but Jesus rebukes them and moves on.
There is often the temptation to use violence to achieve right. Jesus has come to break
this temptation. He is aware that he must undergo violence himself before he can enter
his glory.
The rest of today's reading is about the radical demands of discipleship. The three
people who volunteer to become disciples on this journey show that they do not
understand the demands Jesus will make of them. Neither care of self, care for the
dead, nor care of one's family (as required by the Fourth Commandment) can come
before the demands of discipleship. Jesus reminds the first volunteer, who would go
wherever Jesus goes, that animals in the wild have more security than do Jesus and
his followers. The second, who wants to bury a parent, is reminded that the demands
of proclaiming the Kingdom of God take precedence. And the third, who wants to say
farewell to his family, is reminded that once you put your hand to the plow you cannot
look back or the furrow will be crooked. Such a person is not ready for the Kingdom
of God.
Jesus seems harsh here, but he is only asking of his disciples what he asks of himself.
Jesus' unconditional commitment to God's saving work will demand of him his life.
He knows this, but the disciples do not understand. Jesus does not want anyone to
rush into discipleship, because the demands of discipleship require everyone
considering it to be aware of the cost, make Jesus and his mission central to his life,
and then go forward without looking back.
