Third Sunday of Easter

REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL Luke 24: 35-48

This Sunday’s gospel follows the appearance of the risen Jesus to the two disciples on the way to Emmaus. The Emmaus meal was a welcoming event; the meal with the risen Jesus in Jerusalem will be a missioning event. Despite the witness of the two disciples who have hurried back from Emmaus and the news of Jesus’s appearance to Simon, the eleven and their companions are still startled and terrified when Jesus appears among them and greets them with peace. They think he is a ghost! In this gospel of Luke, as in John’s narrative last Sunday, Jesus makes clear to them the reality of his glorified human presence, his full embodied existence, by showing them his wounded hands and feet, inviting them to touch him, asking them to give him something to eat, and then taking the piece of grilled fish and eating it before their eyes. In Luke’s Last Supper account, Jesus was among his disciples “as the one who serves” now he is among them as one who is to be served. Just seeing with their human eyes is not enough. As Jesus had done in the passion predictions during his ministry, as he had done for the disciples on the way to Emmaus, as the two messengers at the tomb had done for the women on Easter morning, Jesus now opens the eyes of the Jerusalem disciples’ hearts so that they may understand the Scriptures. Luke mentions the threefold division of the Hebrew Scriptures. Luke

mentions the threefold division of the Hebrew Scriptures: the teaching of Moses, the Prophets, and the Writings. These were the Scriptures that had nourished Jesus throughout his life. Jesus tells his disciples clearly that they cannot stay in this Jerusalem house of ecstatic joy, listening to his words and serving him at table. This experience must burst through the doors in the service of those outside, people of all nations who are waiting to hear the Good News of repentance and for-giveness of their sins. At the first meal with Jesus that is recorded in Luke’s gospel, the great banquet that Levi hosted for Jesus, Jesus spoke of the metanoia, that life-changing repentance that turns one’s life around, and which Levi had just experienced in his call to follow Jesus. At that meal, Jesus had addressed the call to repent-ance to the tax collectors and sin-ners; at this last meal after his passion and resurrection “the same message had to be preached to all the nations. CONTINUES IN-SIDE ON THIRD PAGE!

CONTINUATION OF

“REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL” beginning with Jerusalem. Jesus’s passion-

resurrection transformed the table of Jesus the

prophet into that of Jesus Christ the Lord and made it

the springboard for the church’s universal mission.

Jesus’s message at this point in his final discourse

looks directly to the story of the church on mission in

the Acts of the Apostles”. This is what the disciples

are to witness. And we, who at the Eucharist also sit

at the “transformed table” of Jesus, share in the same

urgent mission. As individuals and as church, we

must admit our own sinfulness, continually turn to

Jesus in repentance, and then go out in the strength

of the Eucharist we have received to bear credible,

outreaching witness of the need for conversion to the

following of Jesus in our own small or larger worlds.

Many places in our contemporary world are

obviously not founded on repentance and

forgiveness, but on war and entrenched animosities

that we may publicly lament, or rationalize, or even

excuse, while at the same time still allowing violence

and bitterness to inhabit our hearts. If we are to be

disciples who take seriously Jesus’s Easter greeting

of “Peace be with you” and who offer this peace to

one another around the eucharistic table with a

present and future intent, we need to create a space in

our lives and our hearts where such peace with God

and with our sisters and brothers can truly be at

home. Living Liturgy ~ Year B
