Jesus Takes Us Into Uncharted Territory

About this episode

The episode discusses how God leads individuals into unknown territories of faith, drawing parallels with Abram and the apostles.

Our first reading today presents us with Abram, who will later be renamed "Abraham". God calls him to uproot his family and servants and flocks and go to a a different place -- to where God does not say but simply says that He will show him. Isn't this a frequent theme in the Scriptures? To the apostles, too, Jesus says, "Follow me," but doesn't say "to where" yet promises to lead them where He wants them to go. Why should it be any different with us? To each of those whom God loves He leads into uncharted and unknown territory ... He will lead and guide and bring us to a place of greater trust and intimacy with Himself.
