The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, “Get up, go to Ninevah, that great city, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you”… “Forty days more, and Ninevah shall be overthrown!” Jonah, ch.3

This week’s reading from Jonah picks up on a theme begun in last week’s story from 1 Samuel 3:1-20 — speaking truth to power.

The next day, Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”

There’s good reason to believe that all our centuries of great Christian thinking have done little to bring us closer to the Kingdom of God — and have done much to increase the distance yet to go.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Mark, ch.1

We celebrate, this upcoming Sunday (as we do every year on the first Sunday after Epiphany), the Feast of Our Lord’s Baptism — and we hear every year something about Jesus going to the Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist.
