Evening: Psalm 77; Leviticus 25:35-55; Luke 9:18-27
After
revealing himself as the Messiah, Jesus said, unexpectedly, that he
must suffer and die; but he would be raised on the third day. His
followers must be ready to face hardship too, and to offer their lives
in service to God’s ways. If we spend our lives generously serving God’s
purposes, Jesus says we will live full lives. But if we are stingy with
our lives, then we won’t really be living. Poet Mary Oliver asks: “Tell
me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
What question could be more important?
