Status Updates From Discipleship (Works, Vol 4)

“Where the Synoptic Gospels speak of Christ calling men and their following him, St. Paul speaks of Baptism.”

“It is not a question of stepping into the shoes of the disciples, or if any other of the New Testament characters. The only constant factor throughout is the sameness of Christ and of his call then and now. His word is the same, whether it was addressed during his earthly life…or whether it is speaking to us today. Here, as there, we receive the gracious summons to enter his kingdom and his glory.”
