Intimate fellowship

 Luke 22:14-20

Jesus knew this was His last meal with His disciples before He died so He wanted it to be a special time.  He highlighted that the Passover would be fulfilled.  It is like Jesus is the Passover lamb, where God's first born son was not saved.  What a gift to the Egyptians...God's son died like theirs did.  This is God opening up the doors to the world!  Jesus explains it's about a new covenant.  It is no longer a lamb's blood but His blood; and He asks us to share the bread and wine with each other.  Lord Jesus, please help us to develop intimate fellowship with You and with each other as we share over food and drink.

Our neighbour

  Luke 10:29-37 During this year of covid we've been forced to slow down.  I'm wondering if it's helping us to see our neighbours in need.  Lord Jesus, please help us not to be so busy going about Your work we miss seeing our neighbours in need.

Herod

  Luke 23:8-12 This passage says a lot about Herod.  First of all he wanted to see Jesus because he had heard about Him.  Herod was hoping Jesus would perform a miracle for him but Jesus wasn't going to be played.  Jesus didn't answer Herod's questions and His accusers seemed to be heard by Herod so Herod started to mock Jesus but Herod didn't find anything wrong with him.  Herod sent Him back to Pilate,,,and what is interesting is Herod and Pilate became friends that day. Lord Jesus, when satan sends the mockers help us to be wise and know when to speak and when not to speak.  Give us the courage to stand for what is right, in Your time and way. Amen.

Fringe folk

  Luke 9:49-50 Have you ever noticed some non-church goers are amazing people, doing amazing things?  Jesus says, if they're not against us they're for us.  Lord Jesus, help us not to discourage people who are on the fringes of the church.  Help us see how they are helping in Your Kingdom and celebrate their goodness.
