Dec. 18, 2018 - Comfort in Our Creator
Announcement:
This week, until this Friday the 21st, will be the last week of podcasts for the year from this channel, and we’ll be coming back in January 2019. For those of you who haven’t caught up on past episodes, I really encourage you to go back on some of them during that time and that you’ll enjoy them if you are in need of devotionals to enjoy during your holiday.
Today's Scripture Reading:
15 When one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is the one who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.” 16 Jesus replied: “A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests.17 At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’ 18 “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, ‘I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.’ 19 “Another said, ‘I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I’m on my way to try them out. Please excuse me.” 20 “Still another said, ‘I just got married, so I can’t come.’ 21 “The servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and ordered his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind and the lame.’ 22 “‘Sir,’ the servant said, ‘what you ordered has been done, but there is still room.’ 23 “Then the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the roads and country lanes and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full. 24 I tell you, not one of those who were invited will get a taste of my banquet.’” – Luke 14:15-24
Excerpt:
Spiritual discipline in gospel living requires absolute discomfort because it tears us away from our fleshly and broken nature that holds onto false comforts. But the deception is this: that we will ultimately find comfort in what I have or what I can attain in this lifetime. The truth, is that even in our most discomforting circumstances as we practice our spiritual discipline to cling to Christ and seek to constantly be in gospel living, we will ultimately and eternally find unmatchable comfort in the peace of the Holy Spirit that transcends all of what we may have lost. Our comfort and our peace does not come in decaying creation, but only in our creator.
