CHURCH of the RESURRECTION
Nr. 37 (3089) September 13, 2015
24th Sunday in ordinary time - B
Today's reading is the turning point in
Mark's Gospel. In the presentation of the life
and ministry of Jesus found in the Gospel of
Mark, the deeds of Jesus have shown Jesus to
be the Son of God. Yet many, including Jesus'
disciples, have not yet
realized his identity. In
today's Gospel, Jesus asks
the disciples for a field
report by asking what others
say about him. He then
turns the question directly
to the disciples and asks
what they believe. Peter
speaks for all of them when
he announces that they
believe Jesus to be the Christ.
The word Christ is the Greek
translation of the Hebrew word for Messiah,
which means “the anointed one.” At the time
of Jesus, the image of the Messiah was laden
with popular expectations, most of which
looked for a political leader who would free
the Jewish people from Roman occupation.
Jesus does not appear to have used this term
for himself. As we see in today's reading,
Jesus refers to himself instead as the Son of
Man, a term derived from the Jewish
Scriptures, found in the Book of Daniel and
in other apocryphal writings. Many scholars
suggest that the phrase Son of Man is best
understood to mean “human being.”
Now that the disciples have
acknowledged Jesus as the Christ, Jesus
Sunday Missal
pg. 536;
confides in them the outcome of his ministry:
he will be rejected, must suffer and die, and
will rise after three days. Peter rejects this
prediction, and Jesus rebukes him severely.
The image of Christ that Jesus is giving is not
the image of the
Messiah that Peter was
expecting. Jesus then
teaches the crowd and
the disciples about the
path of discipleship: To
be Christ's disciple is to
follow in the way of the
cross.
We can easily miss
the fear that Jesus'
words must have evoked in his disciples.
Death by crucifixion was all too familiar as a
method of execution in Roman-occupied
territories. It was also an omnipresent danger
to the Christian community for whom Mark
wrote. The path that Jesus was inviting his
disciples to share meant tremendous suffering
and death. This is the kind of radical
commitment and sacrifice that Jesus calls us
to adopt for the sake of the Gospel.

"Lord Jesus, I profess and believe
that you are the Christ, the Son of the living
God. You are my Lord and my Savior. Make
my faith strong and help me to live in the
victory of the cross by rejecting sin and by
accepting your will." (dailyscripture.net) R.R.
I will walk in the presence of the Lord,
in the land of the living. (CBW p.182)
