GOSPEL POWER - JANUARY 11, 2021 - MONDAY
Gospel: Mk 1:14-20
Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near;repent, and believe in the good news.” As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the sea — for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me and I will make you fish for people.” And immediately they left their nets and followed him. As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
REFLECTION
Jesus is not only the announcer of the Good News. He himself is the Good News. His coming marked a crucial turning point that changed history forever. This notion is conveyed to us by two Greek verbs in the perfect tense — “is fulfilled”… “is at hand.” These verbs tell us that, from the instant Jesus entered human history, every single moment has become a time of fulfillment, and the Kingdom of God has been placed within our reach. The moment of salvation began with Jesus and continues until today. It is as if a door has been placed right in front of us, ready to be opened anytime from our side. Jesus tells us that the keys that open that door are repentance and faith.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, you are the Good News. Help us to adhere to you, so that we may be renewed from within and counted as citizens of the heavenly Kingdom. Amen.
