Walking and Worship

We’re all on a path, a road, a journey somewhere. In Luke 24:13-35, Cleopas and his friend are on a path when Jesus makes an appearance. As they walk, Jesus opens the Scriptures and shares a meal with them. These simple acts change everything – “And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him.” (Luke 24:31). The resurrected Jesus is still making appearances. He shows up every time we worship. In worship, Jesus opens the Scriptures and at the communion table he shares a meal. These simple acts of worship, week in and week out, can change everything.

Invited to Prepare

We’ve been preparing for Holy Week since Ash Wednesday, nearly six weeks ago. This is a special week of remembering the crucial events of Christ’s ministry that stand at the heart of everything we believe as Christians. Many of us have prepared for this week with fasting, special prayers, and readings. Decorations and visual symbols in our homes are other ways we prepare. 

But what does it look like to live our whole lives prepared for Jesus? Jesus’ invitation to the disciples in Matthew 21:2 can serve as a framework. Using the verbs from this verse (Go, Find, Untie, and Bring) yesterday’s message encourages us to see all of life as holy moments where God is at work.

Preparing for Jesus,
