It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Sent into the World, a Reflection on John 17:6-19

Kate Huey writes the commentary of this week's Weekly Seeds.

As she imagines what it was like for those disciples sitting around Jesus hearing him give them assurances and instructions, she ponders the question that is still applicable to disciples: What are your top priorities? Does your way of life contradict or express those priorities?

I am struck by those questions (and the rest of her article--go read it for yourself). He has said that we are in the world but that we don't belong to it. The world will hate us for that, but it is to that same world we are being sent.
