No Psalm for Sunday this week (and no Saturday Supplement again either... sorry but I've just been too busy to collate the backlog of weblinks)... instead I offer this reblog based on the theme of discipleship... We're currently exploring what is meant by our President Heather Morris's theme for the year "A People Invited to Follow..." This is as good a place as any to start...
Reader
1: As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee , he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter
and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were
fishermen.
Reader
2: "Come, follow me,"
Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."
Reader
1: At once they left their nets and
followed him.
Reader
2: As they were walking along the
road, a man said to Jesus,
Reader
1: "I will follow you wherever
you go."
Reader
2: Jesus replied, "Foxes have
holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay
his head."
Reader
1: He said to another man,
Reader
2: "Follow me."
Reader
1: But the man replied, "Lord,
first let me go and bury my father."
Reader
2: Jesus said to him, "Let the
dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God ."
Reader
1: Still another said, "I will
follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family."
Reader
2: Jesus replied, "No one who
puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God ."
Reader
1: Then he called the crowd to him
along with his disciples and said:
Reader
2: “If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”
Matthew 4:18-20, Luke 9:57-62 , Mark 8:34
