calling of the disciples
-
Jesus calls disciples with metaphor; an invitation that draws them into something beyond themselves, their history, and even their understanding.
-
In the story of Jesus’s calling of the disciples, we see Jesus connect with someone he has already helped, showing him even more.
-
In gap in the lectionary, we explore what Jesus is up to before he starts calling his disciples, and think about why it matters.
-
Being called to follow Jesus is an invitation to change. A process that naturally separates us from all that we called home.
-
The thing about the call stories is that we take their character for granted. Because we’re in. But they are way bigger than that.
-
In the baptism of Jesus and the calling of Andrew as a disciples, we get a different view of active participation.
