TWENTY FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

“Wrong way!”  Peter tells Jesus in today’s gospel.  And Jesus is right back at him.  “Wrong way?  Not me; you!”

When we get into the middle of this argument, Peter seems to have the better of it.  After all, who wants to go in the direction of losing, suffering and dying?  Sure seems like the wrong way.

Not wrong, but radical.  It’s not that Jesus wants us to follow him, but he comes to follow us.  Losing, suffering and dying is already our way.  And unlike all the pagan gods who could care less, our God could care about nothing more.  Care so much that our God follows our losing, suffering and dying right down to the flesh and blood of an only Son.

What difference does all this make?  If you were ever lost and all alone, you know that you wanted nothing more than someone to come and show you the way.
