Timing is everything
RCL Reflection for the Third Sunday after the Epiphany, Year B, January 24, 2021
This week’s lessons all explore, at least in part, the concept of time and timing. Of course, how we respond to time and timing is what matters, especially when it comes to following Jesus in this world and beyond. How might you speak about God’s sense of timing in a time-obsessed world?

There’s a saying, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” Maybe Jesus’ immediate call to us today to fish for people happens one step and one breath and one prayer at a time. Now that’s an immediately I can wrap my heart and my soul and maybe even my stubborn head around. How about you?

What Time Is It?

What time is it? It’s time to respond to God’s call, to turn from all that would distract and distance you, and to believe in the amazing good news. There’s no time like the present to follow Jesus. (Photo by Alan Cleaver used under Creative Commons License. Thanks!)
