opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
Reflections
“You will see greater things than that.”When called to do something, we do not know really where it will lead us. However, there is a feeling of assurance, a sense of peace, that everything will just be fine and that we are in the right di rection. When God calls, he knows exactly when and how to do it; the timing is so perfect. The call will hit us right at the core in the most op portune time.Like the question of Nathaniel “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”, we can also ask: “Can anything good come out from us once we follow the call? Can anything good/great happen?” Indeed, great things unfold in life as a result of following the call— things beyond our expectations. But they may not be according to our taste, standard, or time frame. One thing is certain these great things are for the flourishing of God’s very good creation, for the wellbeing of the Earth’s commu nity of life, and for the expansion of God’s reign. The call is specifical ly designed for all of these, that is, to contribute to the bringing in of the reign of God on Earth, a reign of love, justice, and peace. The call is intended to accomplish just this.
