Ascension - According to LukeHope seems to be in short supply during these challenging times. Where do we go to have our hope restored? We find the answer when we find the source of our hope.
This week, as we look at the tools Jesus gives us to live his mission, we unpack what Jesus' compassion, kindness and humility means for our witness as those of the 'Jesus' kind'.
To live Jesus' mission in the world, there are certain tools that will help us as we venture 'off the map'. Thankfulness helps us to live our faith in joy. Today we learn the What, Where and How of implementing this spiritual tool.
Many times we attempt to find joy in material possessions or different agendas and ideologies. But as we venture off the map, we need to pack the joy found in the Lord to sustain us and satisfy us.
Jesus confronts his hometown with surprising news about who the Good News is for, and confronts us with the same message today.
Going off the map requires that we learn more of Jesus, and in the process, we must unlearn ourselves.
The habits so far have been about us doing something, Blessing, Eating with people, but today is not about what we do, but about remembering to listen for what God is doing. Lord, teach us to hear you, so we can respond to you.
One of Jesus' habits involved eating good food with "bad" people. These encounters around the table didn't just fill people's stomachs, they helped form the community and transform the lives of those who broke bread with Jesus. Can sharing a meal still have that kind of impact?
Jesus never changes, but he is always changing us! As we follow him into uncharted territory, what new habits do we need develop in order to live as missionaries in our neighborhoods?
