                                                    MARKS OF A CHRISTIAN (Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20)

     

    As Jesus continues his journey to Jerusalem the time of its visitation and comforting, spoken of by Isaiah, is fast approaching. The dawn of the new age is a time of decision and struggle between Jesus and the forces that would hinder and destroy him. As the battle lines are drawn Jesus is not alone and calls on the seventy-two to share in his ministry. They are instructed on how to undertake their missionary activity. It is a ministry in which possibilities and risks stand side by side. The disciples indeed share in Jesus’ ministry and power, but they are called to humility and service. Their sharing in the life which Jesus gives is of greater value than their power over demons.

    There is no more striking image to convey radical and final change than that of death. To make sure his wavering Christians of Galatia know how they have been radically changed by becoming Christians, Paul speaks of being crucified to the world and the world to him. By this powerful image, he means that we have broken totally with the past through baptism. It is for this reason that Paul sees the argument in Galatia about the need for Christians to follow the Jewish law, and so become circumcised, to be ultimately a fruitless exercise. For Christians, the only real marks worth bearing are those of Jesus, and from this perspective, even the divine command for Jews to be circumcised (cf. Genesis 17: 10-14) has been superseded.
