FROM
JERUSALEM TO ILLYRICUM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Thus all the way along, from
Jerusalem to Illyricum, I have preached Christ’s good news to the utmost of my
capacity.” (Romans 15:14-21)
Reflection. Paul has used the second part of his
letter to draw out the implications of our adoption as children of God. He has
done it to raise the consciousness of people, stretching from Jerusalem to as
far as he could go, to the gift that God is offering: it is a gift that is not
immediately obvious but needs earnest reaching out towards, just as his
physical journeys were reaching out to "the utmost of (his) capacity.”
Prayer. Lord, help us to reach out beyond ourselves
to the gift that you offer. Amen.
