A fascinating bit from the gospel lesson for this coming Sunday - Luke 9.51-62. When Jesus is not received by the people of the Samaritan village because his face is set on Jerusalem, the disciples want to throw a little shock and awe on the villagers. James and John ask Jesus: "Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" The disciples want to respond to the rejection with raw power. Jesus rebukes them, and they move on. How often those closest to Jesus (then and now) miss the point. Might we say that discipleship is always cruciform discipleship?
