In our Sunday readings from Luke’s Gospel account, Jesus has been preaching in Galilee. Now he turns his attention to Jerusalem, “When the days for Jesus being taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem.” His decision will result in his death, yet he embraces this outcome. Difficult challenges also face Jesus’ potential followers. Three would-be followers ask to join Jesus. Before setting out, each has a request. One would like to return home to bury a father and another to bid farewell to family. Nothing could be more human than these requests, but Jesus rejects them. This shocks us until we realize that Jesus is exaggerating to get across his point. Jesus never opposes upholding family ties. After all, “Honor your father and mother” is one of the Ten Commandments. Jesus had also critized the Pharisees for their refusal to support their elderly parents by “dedicating their money to God” (Matthew 15:4-5). Jesus highlights the foundational requirement for following him. Commitment to Jesus must be total. Even family bonds cannot take precedence over one’s bond with God. The same was true in Old Testament times. The people of Israel constantly turned away from following God wholeheartedly by worshipping other gods. In the First Reading, Elisha offered a similar excuse for delaying following Elijah. Pope Francis expresses well the wholehearted demand of our relationship with Christ: “Being Christian is not just obeying orders but means being in Christ, thinking like him, acting like him, loving like him; it means letting him take possession of our life and change it, transform it” (General Audience, Wednesday, April 10, 2017). How might Pope Francis’ statement on being a Christian
change your views on your relationship with Christ? What does Jesus’ response to the three would-be followers
indicate about how you should follow Christ? Have you ever experienced your bonds with your family being
in conflict with your relationship with Christ?
