Today’s reading is Luke 23:27-38
“And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!””
Luke 23:35-37 ESV

All,
This stands out because the rulers said, “He saved others; let him save himself”. We know it was God’s purpose for Jesus to die on the cross. The rulers didn’t know God’s purpose so it appeared to them as if Christ wasn’t in control. Are we willing to be a part of God’s purpose even if we are mocked by the “rulers” of the day? Does God have a great plan and purpose for all of us? Jeremiah 29:11? I know I often chose the comfortable way instead to my own detriment. Please pray that we and our friends seek God’s purpose for today and follow the nudges He gives us. Please pray for Sean Doughtie as he is forming his group. Please pray for Michelle, Nichole, Torrie and Annie.
