Friday 15 March
Read Luke 12:41–13:17
Think
Lk 12:41-48 – Jesus continues teaching on the parable we
read yesterday; challenging us to faithful obedience.
Lk 12:49-53 – The gospel that Jesus preaches is bound to
cause division and persecution; it will not be easy to be obedient.
Lk 12:54-13:9 – In this passage Jesus again warns his
hearers about the coming day of justice and our need to ‘repent’ which means to
‘change our ways’.
Lk 13:9-13:17 – The above passages have called us to change
our ways, to repent, to be healed – but we don’t know how; we haven’t got the
power within ourselves. In this passage Jesus heals a crippled woman with a
word. Maybe we don’t need our own power
to change us.
Pray
Meditate on Lk 13:12: “Woman, you are set free from your
ailment.”
