Day 319: Come, Follow Me (2025)

Fr, Mike compares the story of the rich young man to the story of Zacchaeus, highlighting the difference in their willingness to follow Christ with their whole hearts. Looking at the stories of these young men, Fr. Mike invites us to reflect on our willingness to follow Christ with all that we are and all that we have. Today we read Luke 17-19 and Proverbs 26:13-16.

Support The Bible in a Year (with Fr. Mike Schmitz)

There are people that adamantly defend a point on principle. “People shouldn’t break the law,” they might say.

But, I would respond, lawgivers should not make laws out of eggshells.

There must be a map of ethics that can be traced, in order to ensure that all legal and legislative processes are ethical and just.

There are countless cases of laws being made to be broken, in order to trap the law-breaker. This is silly, and in extreme cases it becomes tyrannical. But, only socialists are tyrannical, it seems (that’s sarcasm).

We must be just, ethical and graceful. Laws are made to guide and protect, not profit and entrap.

This is a great scripture that I often use to guide my walk and enduing actions:

He has made it clear to you, mortal man, what is good and what the LORD is requiring from you— to act with justice, to treasure the LORD’s gracious love, and to walk humbly in the company of your God.

-Micah 6:8 ISV
