The gospel lectionary reading for Trinity 8 in this Year C is Luke 12.32-40. It brings together two teachings of Jesus, which appear to be paradoxical, or at least in some tension.
On the one hand, we are to be at peace, and enjoy the freedom that comes from knowing the Father's love. Because of that, we need have no anxiety, and so can live in a kind of reckless generosity to others.
On the other hand, we need to be alert and reading for action—'gird up your loins'! We do not know when Jesus will return, so we need to live in a constant state of readiness—though there is a strong possibility that the return will be delayed, and much further away than we expect.
Come and join James and Ian as they explore what these mean for Christian living, and how we much preach on this text. Revd James Blandford-Baker is vicar of Histon and Impington, two villages just north of Cambridge.
