Reflection
Genesis 18:16-33, Matthew 8:18-22

“A radical call for all Christians”
Are we ready to follow Jesus unconditionally? His call is radical. His call is decisive. This is something that each of us has to answer from our heart. As baptised Christians, all of us are called to follow Jesus radically. We too are called to live a life of simplicity as Jesus did. We are to put our securities not in honour or worldly possessions, but in God alone.

“The disciple simply burns his boats and goes ahead. He is called out... The old life is left behind, and completely surrendered. The disciple is dragged out of his relative security into a life of absolute insecurity... out of the realm of the finite...into the realm of infinite possibilities.”
(Dietrich Bonhoeffer)
