Rojeni za zmago
29. 01. 2012
Pred leti je v ZDA izšla knjiga: »Born to
Win« — Rojen, da bi zmagal ali rojen za
zmago. Avtor knjige ljudi deli na
zmagovalce in poražence. Zmagovalci imajo
veselje do življenja. Uživajo v delu, v igri, ob
dobri hrani, v naravi, v stiku z drugimi
ljudmi. Poraženci niso nikoli zadovoljni s
seboj, pri vsem imajo občutek krivde. Kako
pa na to vprašanje gleda Jezus?
Preseneča nas, da Jezus priporoča svoje 'življenje izgubiti'. To pomeni
zatajiti samega sebe. To pomeni sebi reči: NE. S tem Jezus temeljno
človeško potrebo po sreči udari v obraz. »Kaj človeku pomaga, če si ves
svet pridobi, svojo dušo pa pogubi!« Življenje je nekaj najdragocenejšega, kar imamo. Njegove vrednosti ni mogoče oceniti. Za kakšno ceno ga
človek lahko odkupi?
Kar težko rečemo, ali je bil Jezus poraženec v življenju ali ne? Pod
svojo zunanjostjo je skrival nasprotje. Ali ni bil kakor pšenično zrno? Prav
s smrtjo je zaslužil neizmerne sadove. Kaj pomeni za nas življenje
izgubiti? To pomeni življenje izgubiti zaradi Jezusove volje. Kdor misli
samo na svoj jaz, ostane sam na koncu s svojimi minljivimi vrednotami.
Kdor želi svoje življenje najti, ga bo izgubil, kdor pa se za druge
razdaja, ga bo našel. Priznati moramo, da nam to zveni še vedno tuje.
Zato normalen človek reagira kakor Peter. Pavel pa že vzklika: »To, kar je
zame dobiček, sem imel zaradi Kristusa za izgubo!« (Flp 3,7)
Najbrž je samo od nas odvisno, če bomo v svojem življenju ponovno
rekli DA. Potrebno je, da zavestno pade odločitev.
Pesem Stezosledcev pravi: »Življenje je igra. Je zelo resna reč. V njem
je vse usmerjeno na zmago in vse ima svojo izgubo.«
Kdor zna prav igrati, kdor tehta ljubezen, ta dospe do velikega cilja.

Sunday's Readings
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading Deuteronomy 18:15-20
The Lord promises to raise up a prophet like
Moses to speak God’s word to God’s people.
Second Reading 1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Expecting the world to end soon, Paul calls
for single-minded devotion to God rather than
attention to one’s worldly needs.
Gospel Mark 1:21-28
Jesus teaches with an authority that is validated by the subduing of an evil spirit.
“What is this?
A new teaching with authority.”
Illustration
The movie was to be a true story of one woman’s struggle against the military authorities in a
corrupt South American country. But the director
and leading actress were in dispute about the interpretation of the character’s role. The scriptwriter had not made it clear. So the studio authorities
called in a variety of people who had worked with
the real character or who had studied her life and
actions. A professor, a leading authority on modern South American history, shone some light, but
the character remained an enigma. Even the authorized biography left gaps in the full picture.
Eventually they decided to consult the woman herself, now living quietly in Australia. She was
the only real authority on what had motivated her.
She was the author of her own story, her life. As a
result, the script was changed, and the actress
36 | VESTNIK 2012
went on to play the role with real conviction, her
authoritative performance winning her an Oscar.
Note the number of times the word
“authority” and its derivatives are used, in many
different senses. There is one use of authority, usually in the plural, applying to those people whose
office endows them with power over others, for
good or ill – “the authorities”. Then there is the
authority of expertise, knowledge being a form of
power. “Authorized” implies something official,
approved, genuine; and “authoritative” has the
strength of truth and conviction about it. All stem,
in fact, from the word “author” – an original creator, the real source of authority on that which is
created.
Gospel Teaching
When Jesus taught in the synagogue, his
authority was derived not from the power of holding a religious office, nor from mere expertise. For
he was no ordained priest, nor a scholarly scribe,
and, although Luke’s Gospel reports that even at a
young age he had astounded the teachers in the
Temple, he was not an academic.
The authority that Jesus possessed, then and
now, is from his being one with the author, the
creator, of the very truth he propounded. Also his
words and his acts were one and the same. As his
teaching could fill the mind and heart with the
wonder of God’s love, so his acts could restore
broken people to wholeness, to God’s shalom.
As God creates the world by God’s word
alone, so Jesus uses his words alone to subdue the
forces of evil that have taken possession of the
man in the congregation. Recently the voice from
heaven at Jesus’ baptism had acknowledged Jesus’ identity. Here another supernatural being
does the same. Jesus’ authority is drawn not from
this world but from the divine. Although there
were many teachers of the law and interpreters of
Scripture at the time, and many exorcists and
healers, none was invested with this direct authority.
And yet, even while Jesus restores health and
wholeness, hostility and conflict are ever present.
Here the unclean spirit immediately recognizes
Jesus and, in the act of leaving its human host,
causes the man to suffer convulsions. The competing authorities of good and evil are ranged against
each other from the start.
Application
Hostility between them is a constant theme
in Mark’s Gospel, although we know who ultimately triumphs. The people in the stories are
challenged to take sides: the disciples, the authorities, the people in the crowds, the listeners. So are
we. When we hear the uncompromising position
Jesus takes against evil, we are asked where we
stand on that. Do we tolerate it, for an easy life?
Do we give in, and behave in ways more in keeping with Satan than with Christ? Do we face our
own demons and, with God’s grace, expel them
from our lives? Are we prepared to hear a new
teaching, to be shaken by the radicalism of Jesus’
message, or do we prefer to go through the motions of habit and conformity? How can we take
on the mantle of being other Christs in our world?
To speak, act and live with Christ’s authority
is a vocation that calls us constantly to grow closer
to him, day after day. We have the means to do
that through prayer; through daily attention to
scripture reading, study and meditation; through
the sacraments, and through the constant practice
of the virtues. Challenging authority in this world is
something that we all may be called to do from
time to time. But we are also called to recognize
the ultimate authority of God, and to reflect on
how that challenges us in our everyday lives.
