Daily Scripture:“For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 16:25)Daily Reflection:Imagine going to a financial planner who tells you that, if you want to save for retirement, you have to spend all your money. Or imagine talking to a dietitian who says that, if you want to lose weight, you need to eat as many cheeseburgers as you can. It just doesn’t make sense. But Jesus’ teaching here can sound almost like that: To find life, you have to give up your life for him.Being a disciple of Jesus is often about not doing what the world says we should do. Discipleship is hard work. Even his disciples, who heard these teachings directly from Jesus, didn’t get it right all the time. Discipleship requires that we listen closely for God to guide us. It also means that we stop putting ourselves first and instead love God with everything we have.Lyn Hayes ALM
Daily Scripture“You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18)Daily Reflection This is the first time in our daily reflections that we’ve dipped into Leviticus – the third book of the Bible, written circa 1445BC. It is a guidebook on how to live a holy life and how to worship God. These are scriptures that Jesus would have known, studied and taught. The message occurs many times in the Gospels (the good news of Jesus Christ) and other parts of the New Testament.We are made in God’s image; we were created to have a close relationship with God. When our relationship is broken, we feel incomplete and need to rebuild it. If you feel overwhelmed, lonely, guilty through sin: then turn to God and build up your relationship with Him. “I am the Lord”; I am your Lord. Start by loving your neighbour….and yourself.Revd David
