Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 4: 12-17
Once again the gospel focuses on Jesus as
the Promised One of the Old Testament.
Jesus began his preaching in Galilee and
is identified by Matthew as "the great
light" foretold by Isaiah. Jesus' first
message to God's people is a powerful one.
He says that we should reform our lives,
or repent, for "the kingdom of heaven is
at hand."
"To
repent" means that we take a complete
change of direction in our lives. Jesus
knew what repentance, or change of
direction, meant, because he had just made
a big change in his own life. After John
was put in jail, he knew that preparing
God's people for the kingdom was now
totally up to him. So he chose a place to
live (Capernaum-by-the-sea) and "began to
proclaim." Jesus made a new
beginning.
1.)
Chaim Potok, a Jewish novelist, once began
one of his novels with the statement,
"Beginnings are hard." To repent means to
begin again. When have you made a new
beginning? How can you make a new
beginning today in some area of your
life?
