Second Sunday of Epiphany-
Follow Me

So said Jesus.

--Follow me.
--Sígueme.
--Suis-moi.
--Nifuate.

The least and the lost and the oppressed and poor and persecuted were given a vision of hope and grace and God. A hated Samaritan becomes a hero. A Syro-Phoenician changes Jesus mind as a master debater. The enemy tax collector becomes the dinner host. Fishermen become disciples. The world is turned upside down. Just the way God wants it.

Twenty centuries later one of those disciples sees that the world is not upside down. We have turned it back to the way WE want it, not the way God wants it. He has a dream and lives and works and evetually dies for that dream.

Today in the calling of the Disciples (John 1) we are invited to be part of that world turning around movement.

Tomorrow we in the United States celebrate the life of one of those disciples who worked to make our world and country more like God would want. He followed Him.

May we be willing to do so, too.
