Message: The gospel according to Luke Text: Luke 23:50-53
All eyes on each other; all eyes on Joseph.
How long do you keep trying to help/reach someone? When do you give up?
All eyes on each other; all eyes on you.
Where are you on your discipleship journey? Are you on a journey?
Never base your faithfulness on the faith-less-ness of others.
Jim Elliot, "We are so utterly ordinary, so commonplace, while we profess to know a Power the 20th century does not reckon with. But we are harmless and therefore unharmed. We are spiritual pacifists, non-militants, conscientious objectors in this battle to the death with principalities and powers in high places…We are sideliners--coaching and criticizing the real wrestlers while content to sit by and leave the enemies of God unchallenged. The world cannot hate us--we are too much like its own. Oh that God would make us dangerous."
