More reflections on Sunday’s readings

Read also the second reading: Philippians 3:17 – 4:1.

- On what experience of the disciples of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke does Paul base himself when he tells of the promise of Jesus “”?

- Is the Epistle to the Philippians talking about the same “citizenship” that is described in Genesis 15 in the promise of the Land of Israel to Abraham and the people of Israel by God?

- Which two covenants are being talked about in the first reading and in the Gospel of Luke? Between whom is the covenant being made? What is the common element in the reaction of Abraham and the reaction of the disciples?
