Saturday 25th June  and Sunday 26th JuneThis passage marks a turning point in the gospel of Luke. It is the commencement of Jesus’ journey towards Jerusalem and we are told that he resolutely takes that road (or in some translations, he resolutely ‘sets his face’ towards Jerusalem). Earlier in this chapter, we have heard Peter’s confession of faith, seen the Transfiguration and heard Jesus predict his death. Today’s passage begins the secondhalf of the gospel of Luke and it is clear from this point forward that there is no turning back fo Jesus. This passage is a difficult one on first reading; the second half of it seems to paint a picture of an unsympathetic and uncompromising Jesus. However, in the light of its positioning as the beginning of the second half of the gospel – the beginning of the end – it takes on more significance. Firstly, the incident of rejection in Samaria allows Jesus to make very clear that he will never resort to violence as a solution to any problem. The reaction of the disciples seems a bit extreme as a response to an inhospitable action! Jesus’ rebuke to them reminds us that what he has offered all along is an invitation that was open to all – if some don’t accept the invitation you can’t call fire down on them from above!

The three vignettes make plain the urgency and demanding nature of Jesus’ mission. He and his followers are constantly on the move and have no room for comforts and cosy beds. The second and third pieces contrast directly with the story from today’s first reading. The message of Jesus is that the work of the Kingdom is even more important than duty to family and duty to the dead. Once he has set his face towards Jerusalem and his own death, there is no turning back – he is absolutely committed to his mission.
