“He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lakeside, ..."

Deuteronomy 30:11-14 Romans 10:8b-18 Matthew 4:18-22 Psalm 19 or 19:1-6 

St Andrew, Apostle


“He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lakeside, He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same words: "Follow thou me!" and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience Who He is.”Albert Schweitzer, The Quest of the Historical Jesus

Jesus appears to disciples at their work. He calls, they follow.
The word of God is near you.
The LORD is near
unknown or unrecognized as he may be.
God’s reign is coming to us
as we are about our daily tasks.
He calls on us to follow,
to join him in his ministry
of proclamation and healing,
of announcing God’s reign is come.
We trust – we rely on his word
for provision. We are faithful
like the widow with the coins,
we give what we have and trust him for the rest.
