I have been planning to begin a study of John 13-17 -- Jesus' instruction to His "inner circle". Those in whom He had made the greatest investment of both Himself and truth. Not only that, but those through whom the Spirit would ignite and spread the Church. I am still planning on going there, but we are going to hold off, as I have one more thing I would like to cover first.
Read Luke 9:23-f or any of the companion texts in Matthew or Mark. And then here are a few things for you to think about:
1. Write a one sentence summary of what Jesus is teaching.
2. What does this have to do with our study of the resurrection?
3. What does this have to do with our study of "revival"?
4. And, what does this have to do with our study of Gospel Culture?
I would suggest to you that they all fit together. Stated another way--if you are lacking in one, you are lacking in all. Give it some thought, and see what kind of questions arise.
See you on Wednesday,
Kevin
