                                                                                         OPPORTUNITY AND DANGER (Mark 6: 7-13)

    When God intervenes in our lives it can mean radical change that brings with it both opportunity and danger. Amos’ work had involved the care of trees – nothing had prepared him for his new ministry as prophet. Preaching far from his home, he was politely threatened, and told in no uncertain terms, that his message of judgement was not welcome at the king’s shrine. His response was that while his message was discomforting to hear, it had been given by God. It was not his own and his experience of God was so powerful that he could not deny it. He had a duty to preach the message he had been given. The mission of the twelve is another example of the kind of radical change that can accompany a closer encounter with Jesus. Called to share in Jesus’ mission they are prepared and commissioned for this new task, a task which will lead them face acceptance, as well as the risk of rejection. They are instructed that they must travel light, there is nothing they can carry that will defend them from a closed mind or a hardened heart.

    The opening hymn in the letter to the Ephesians is a beautiful and loving reflection on what we have received in Jesus. It is filled with wonder for the fact that we have all been adopted through Jesus, who is the source of forgiveness and our freedom. There is an implicit invitation: having received so much, how could we not share this with others – whatever the risk.
