First Sunday in Lent, Sunday, March 1st, 2020
I believe that the gospel writers wanted to tell the faithful, then and now, those of us who take Jesus seriously, how to face our own temptations, our own spiritual battles. In other words, Jesus shows us the way.

Biblically and theologically a metamorphosis has to do with God’s transforming purposes, not human efforts or wishful thinking about making changes in one’s life.

We may see the world through different lenses. But we can be united in a common purpose. And we can build bridges across any divide through food. Because there is one bread, we, though many, are one body since we all share one bread.

In Jesus, we see that God is a “seeking” God. God is the “seeker” looking for the valuable “Golden Snitch,” you and me. We are golden in the eyes of God. So how do you respond to this God? In our gospel lesson, two of the disciples of John turn to Jesus and begin to follow him. When Jesus turned to them and asked, What do you seek? What are you looking for? they replied Rabbi or “Teacher”, where are you staying?” What does it mean to walk, to live with you? Come and see, he replied. You can know about Jesus but you cannot know Jesus unless you commit yourself to walk with Him, to live with Him, to take Jesus seriously. And you cannot know God, truly know God, unless you are willing to walk with the living resurrected Christ.

We are not the boss. We are not the final authority. But we are called to exercise leadership within the church. We are called to reflect Christ’s will, as best as we can understand it in our life together. We are called to set aside our will, bias, and prejudice.
