Bible Study

     Today's passage gives us one of the most important purposes of the book.
     N.T. Wright says:
     Luke, whose first volume we know as the gospel which bears his name, is telling us with his opening sentence one of the most important things about the whole book which is now beginning.  It is all about what Jesus is continuing to do and to teach.  The mysterious presence of Jesus, haunts the whole story.  He is announced as King and Lord, not as an increasingly distant memory but as a living and powerful reality, a person who can be known and loved, obeyed and followed, a person who continues to act within the real world.

      As we are going to use 40 days to go back to the very beginning of Jesus teaching, may we share the same experience as those disciples of Jesus had in that 40 days after He was risen to the day of His ascension. May we be in the presence of Jesus in the coming 40 days starting tomorrow to break every possible hindrance we could have that Jesus cannot be our Lord so that we can build a true lifestyle of Christlikeness. 

               
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

     What I heard from Jesus today is: 40 days with risen Lord 

     What I got from Jesus today is wonderful. Can you imagine how wonderful it is to have a seamless continuation from the Evangelist123 to Break.Build? How wonderful it is that we have today's passage to remind us of the 40 days Jesus' disciples had after He was risen.

     I deeply believe that this is God's timing to move from Acts 1:1-5 to tomorrow's Break.Build 40 days journey with Jesus.  Remember, the journey will be a time in the presence of the living Jesus that we can be with Him in a true and intimate sense.

     Are you ready? 

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to be ready for the coming 40 days to be with you in a very special way.  In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
