Holy Week – Jesus Avoids the Trap

April 5, 2020/CathyChung/

Topics to Dig Into

Who is He?

What is God like? Who is this man Jesus? How can we understand the Holy Spirit?

The Visible God

God is present and active in our lives, often working through people and ‘coincidences’. Thank and praise Him!

Making it Practical

Following Jesus in today’s world can be challenging. But living according to Jesus’ teaching is incredibly worthwhile. Call it life-changing.

He Knows You

God’s love is unconditional. He knows our hearts and continually invites us into relationship.

Ah-Ha!

Learning about the culture and language of Bible times can reveal new meaning in familiar scriptures. Let’s call them ah-ha moments.

Great video and post, but I do disagree on one point.
What are you missing during this time of separation? That thing being what you worship.

I believe that’s too broad an assumption. I miss my people, my tribe . God calls us to be in communion with one another,,He wants us to love our family and friends and neighbors.

Right now loving them means distancing
., but is missing the interaction, the closeness, something I worship? And if so, why would that be wrong?

  Great point, Michelle. Thanks for pointing that out. Yes, my question was far too broad. But this time does allow us to contemplate if what we miss is something we worship – admiration, approval, power, achievements, and even family. Certainly, we are made to be in community, but we might lean on some relationships over God. I’m merely suggesting that recognizing that we’re missing something provides an opportunity to ask ‘why’ and ‘is it healthy’?
  Thanks for engaging!

Spend a few minutes to plant a quick Seed. Or stay longer and plant a whole garden.

Each post is a brief scriptural thought that will grow as you let it take root in your thoughts. If you have time, dig into one area of interest and plant a whole garden.
