Generosity with possessions, time and mercy is a good and precious gift – a sign that we have been touched by the generosity of God.
Systems that seek to manipulate and exploit are not the ways of God – be wary!
Moving through this Epiphany we need to be looking for the signs that God has for us for this new year.
The fishermen that Jesus called to follow him, knew what it was like to pull fish from the chaos of the sea.
What does it mean to pull people from the chaos of their lives, the storms around them, the deep blue of the seas they are in and bring them into the order of God. ‘Called to follow’ equals ‘Call to love’ (even when we want to resist).
Jesus came into the world as the ‘upside down’ king – his kingdom is not of this world.
To commit to following Jesus is not to go along the pathway of power, authority or prestige.
Rather to relate with humility, through compassion, holding fast to a righteous way of living.
After the excitement of the Sea of Galilee, more lay in store when Jesus arrived at the other side
Eating bread makes us hungry and want more, eating what Jesus supplies gives energy and fulfilment – Jesus knows what we each need.
An amazing message of inclusive gracious love!
Everybody matters – every single person is included in the household of God.
