reflecting on the 23rd Sunday in ordinary time - part 3



Where we are have come from(readings for Sunday 8th September):

Deuteronomy 30.15-20
Psalm 1
Philemon 1-21
Luke 14.25-33


Readings for today

Psalm 101

2 Kings 18.19-25, 

19.1-7

luke 18.18-30

thought for today

So Hezekiah's intial submission isn't enough. Sennachrib wants more. 2 Kings does not give us much idea why - but it does lead hezekiah into a new relationship with his prophet, his people and with God. It might seem a huge leap - but in Jesus also asks of the young man farm more than he is expecting. And maybe the same of us.
