BREAKING OPEN THE WORD
FAITH IN OUR RESURRECTION (Luke 6: 17, 20-26)
All of us search for the path that leads to life and this search calls us to make decisions. Which path should we choose? Where are we to find the wellsprings that will give us living water? Jeremiah places the two paths before us by contrasting the shrub that dies in the desert with the tree that is planted by water. In a similar fashion, Jesus places two options before his listeners in the beatitudes and the woes. God’s ways are often not ours and the path that leads to the living God may be marked by difficulty and persecution. As far as Paul was concerned some of the Corinthian Christians had taken the wrong path because they did not understand that bodily resurrection is an essential element of Christian belief. Some of them had come to the mistaken belief that a consequence of their baptism was that they were already in their glorified bodies. Paul sets out to shock the Corinthians by showing them the consequences and inherent dangers of their point of view. He knew that our present body must be changed into a glorified one at the resurrection of the dead. How could he bring them to see the error of their point of view? He bases his argument upon the fact that just as Jesus’ body was glorified at his resurrection, so it will be those who follow him. Jesus is to be seen as the first fruits of a harvest that is to come at the fullness of time.
