Lectura, as de Hoy Hechos 13:14, 43-52 Salmo 100:1-2, 3, 5

Apocalipsis 7:9, 14b-17 Juan 10:27-30

The first reading tells of Paul’s and Barnabas’s

efforts to bring the good news to Israel. But Is-

rael is not willing to hear a new message. The

good news is never something that we can say

we have heard and to which we have respond-

ed. God’s word, the gospel, is always a present

word. Each time we really hear the gospel, we

hear something new, something we have not

heard before. The good news stretches us. It

makes us complacent, it gives us the satisfac-

tion that we are the in crowd and those other

poor people just do not have a clue, we are in

danger of being in the same situation as the

Jews in this reading. When we evangelize, we do not have a prepack-aged product to sell to as many people as possi-ble. Rather we offer an invitation to enter into the presence of the living Christ. In his presence we are all transformed and will continue to be trans-formed as long as we live. It is a temptation for Christians to feel they already have experienced the gospel and committed to it, and so resist the pull of God to move forward toward the kingdom. Yet if we do not follow God’s call in our lives and situations today, we are in danger of being left behind.

La primera lectura habla de los esfuerzos de Pablo y Bernabé para llevar las buenas nuevas a Israel. Pero Israel no está dispuesto a escuchar un nuevo mensaje. La buena noticia nunca es algo que po-damos decir que hemos escuchado ya lo que hemos respondido. La palabra de Dios, el evan-gelio, es siempre una palabra presente. Cada vez que realmente escuchamos el evangelio, escu-chamos algo nuevo, algo que no hemos escuchado antes. La buena noticia nos estira. Si nos hace com-placientes, nos da la satisfacción de que somos la multitud y que las otras personas pobres simple-mente no tienen ni idea, estamos en peligro de es-tar en la misma situación que los judíos en esta lec-tura. Cuando evangelizamos, no tenemos un producto preenvasado para vender a la mayor can-tidad de personas posible. Más bien, ofrecemos una invitación para entrar en la presencia del Cristo viviente. En su presencia, todos somos transforma-dos y seguiremos siendo transformados mientras vivamos. Es una tentación para los cristianos sentir que ya han experimentado el evangelio y se han comprometido con él, y por eso resisten el impulso de Dios para avanzar hacia el reino. Sin embargo, si no seguimos el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas y situaciones de hoy, estamos en peligro de ser deja-dos atrás.
