Lenten Reflection
Scripture: Luke 9:11 "he welcomed them..." (NIV)
Observation: This is a familiar passage of scripture for me. The phrase that stood out tonight was "he welcomed them." Crowds continued to follow him yet Jesus did not become frustrated by their presence. He welcomed them.
Application: We as Christ followers must not become bothered by those who get into our personal space! There's a reason for it and we have to look down deep to meet their need. I think Jesus fed many souls that day with spiritual food and not just physical food. Because of his welcoming spirit, people could not help but gather around him.
Kneel: God, help us to welcome those who get in our personal space! Amen!
