June 18 – The Joy of Finding

Read: Luke 7:36-50 – How the ‘found’ are overwhelmed by grace!

Observe: There are three responses to note here. The first is the woman’s response: lavish in its expression, flowing out of a heart overwhelmed by the grace and love of Christ. The second, the unspoken response of Simon the Pharisee, recoiling in horror at the scene being played out on front of him. The third response is that of Jesus: affirming the woman’s love and gratitude, and challenging Simon’s cold and judgemental heart. Our calling is to respond in Christlike attitude, drawing the broken and repentant into loving and affirming community. The Church’s call is to be a haven of rest for the weary!

Pray:

  • That our attitudes will be like that of Jesus Christ, who while taking sin seriously, overcomes t with grace, acceptance and love that draws people into change
  • Seek God’s forgiveness for when we have been small hearted and narrow minded toward those who are new in the grace of God
  • New Developments!: News this from yesterday is that developments with neighbouring property is looking very positive. God is working in this situation, and we hope that very soon we can tell you more. Please continue to pray earnestly for open doors!
  • Lord, please lead us in your way. Have us place our every opportunity into your hands that it may become what you want it to be. You must become greater, we must become less…
