In memory of Elven J. Laskowski
Hoy Pedro, la piedra, da un tropezón al enfrentarse con el pronóstico de la
pasión de Jesús, lo cual provoca en Jesús caracterizar a Pedro como
“Satanás” y le dice: “¡Apártate de mí y no intentes hacerme tropezar en mi
camino”. Con esas duras palabras
Pedro debía entender que seguir al Maestro implicaba imitarlo en todo, sobre todo en su entrega de amor. Pedro necesitaba aprender, como deben aprender los cris-
tianos de todas las generaciones, que profesar la fe es sólo el comienzo. “Obras, no palabras”. Hay que poner en práctica lo
que se predica.
Entonces y ahora, Jesús no iguala el concepto popular de
“Mesías”: un campeón que viene a liberar nuestro mundo –
obsesionado con la salud, la riqueza y el éxito– del conflicto y la contradicción, del dolor y el sufrimiento, de la tragedia y el der-
roche. Pero, por el contrario, el Siervo Sufriente de Dios acepta decididamente la muerte, absorbe todo el dolor físico y emocional que los seres humanos pueden infligirse mutuamente y así sana el
corazón humano y libera a toda la humanidad para que reciba la vida eterna. Por eso es que los discípulos de entonces y nosotros
los discípulos de ahora necesitamos comprender que el camino de
Jesús, nuestro propio camino, ha de ser el camino de la Cruz.
El precio de seguir la exhortación de Pablo de “no se dejen trans-
formar por los criterios de este mundo” es muy alto, tal como descubrió el mismo Pablo, así como Pedro, Jeremías y Jesús.
Perder la vida para salvarla. Renunciar a sí mismo para beneficio de los demás. ¡Qué desolado sería el camino del discipulado si no
fuera por los discípulos pasados y presentes, y porque Jesús nos
acompaña! Pero qué gozo más indescriptible, aun en medio del sufrimiento, es ser instrumentos del perdón y de la paz de Dios, de su gracia y de su bondad, que siempre nos encuentra cuando
renunciamos a nosotros mismos por los demás y por Dios.
Pregunta de la Semana
Dado que antes de “tomar la cruz” y “seguir” a Jesús él me pide “renunciar a mí mismo”, ¿qué cambios radicales de valores, reor-
denación de prioridades y reenfoque de visión deben ocurrir en mi corazón como el Paso #1 para el discipulado?
Today Peter, the Rock, stumbles over Jesus’ predicted Passion,
prompting Jesus to label Peter as “Satan . . . an obstacle [stumbling
block] to me” (Matthew 16:23). Je-sus puts Peter and us in our place;
literally, “Get behind me,” i.e.,
where disciples belong, following the Master, imitating the Master’s self-sacrificing love (16:23). Peter needed to learn, as do Christians in every age, including ours,
that professing the faith is just the beginning. “Talking the talk” means nothing without “walking the walk.”
Then and now, Jesus does not match the popular concept of
“Messiah:” a champion to liberate our world—health-, wealth-,
and success-obsessed—from conflict and contradiction, pain and suffering, tragedy and waste. Instead, God’s Suffering Servant willingly accepts death, absorbs all the physical and emotional
pain human beings can inflict upon one other, in order to heal the human heart from within and liberate all humanity for eternal
life. Thus, the disciples then and we now need to learn that Jesus’ way, our way, must be the way of the Cross.
The price of “not conforming myself to this age” is steep, as Paul and Peter, like Jeremiah and Jesus before them, discovered (cf.
Romans 12:2). Losing life to find it. Forfeiting self to profit oth-ers. How lonely discipleship’s journey would be, were not disci-ples past and present and Jesus journeying with us! But what in-
describable joy, even in the midst of suffering, to be channels for others of God’s pardon and peace, the grace and goodness that always finds us when we lose ourselves for others and for God.
Question of the Week
Jesus bids me “deny myself” before “taking up the cross” and “following.” What radical shift of values, reordering of priorities, refocusing of vision must take place in my heart as discipleship’s
non-negotiable Step Number 1?
