[Grem] Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel, *Jesus commissions the twelve Apostles.* Perhaps
we can see here* a fulfillment of his prophetic invitation to the first
disciples*: *“Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”*

*“Come after me.”* This is a Hebraicism that indicates discipleship.* Jesus
is not offering a doctrine, a theology, or a set of beliefs. He is offering
himself.* *He’s saying, “Walk in my path; enter into the world that I have
opened up.”*

*“And I will make you fishers of men.” This is one of the best lines in
Scripture*. *Notice the first part of the phrase: “I will make you.”* *God
is the one who makes us from nothing. To live in sin is to live
outside of* *the
creative power of God*, *to pretend that we can make ourselves*. *How
wonderful that he tells us that he will make us!*

*And what he makes us is always a reflection of himself: a fisher of men*.
*God wants to draw all things and all people into a community around him,
in him. He is a fisher of people—and so wants us to be. *


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
