LC Day 27

Luke 4-5 in the Lent Challenge

The passion, expectancy, ferver, love, enthusiasm shine through so strongly, almost to the point of anger sometimes.

Two things struck me today:

  1. The two mentions of yeast. We had a Passover meal at house group this week (I know a bit early!) and before the meal, all traces of yeast had to be rid from the house. Such a potent force. I’m intolerant to yeast and know what it can do to me! The yeast of the Pharisees blew their pride up, but the yeast of God can make bread a kingdom rise! I need to careful what kind I am.
  2. Ch12 v 49 is amazing. My version (ncv) says: “I came to set fire to the world, and I wish it were already burning.” Wow.

In ‘Consuming Fire’ by Third Day it says “Our God, He is a consuming fire and the flames burn down deep in my soul!”

Lord, let me burn more for you.
