Most have some difficulties in their lives. Jesus’s point was, that rather than seeking prosperity and ease, if we desire to follow after him then we may have to pay a price for Christ’s sake. Currently the trend is to follow your own heart but Jesus says deny yourself and follow him.
Life is what happens to us all while we are making other plans. Life is also a gift from God. We have to be open to the voice of a stranger and practice paying attention
Jesus is increasing in wisdom by asking and listening and even amazes his elders!
It is frustrating when we have to call on one much younger, to teach us about computers!
However, there are also times when the wisdom and experience of having lived a bit of life is both important and valued.
The acronym for TEAM: ” Together Everyone Achieves More”, opens us to possibilities and to actively encouraging each other.
Peter prays over Tabitha and she is given new life and raised up.
Resurrection is a call to rise, get up, stand up tall, and come out.
Resurrection is to be called from all that inhibits us, being raised to new heights.
Called to embrace ‘our story’, so we can be raised to a greater and more profound reality.
AAM: Jesus was a different kind of king, he bought light to our darkness. He understands how we feel and wants us to share in his light and love, and share it with others.
Being women, Mary and Elizabeth would have not been more than ‘homemakers’ in the culture of that day.
Mary sang a song which presented a new set of values – she was referring to what Jesus would do in His later Ministry.
In 2024 out culture still thinks of Christmas as being a story about a baby – not about Jesus, who God is and who you and I are invited to be – this is what Mary sang about.
