word and deed

Saturday February 16^th, Luke 9: 42 Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father. 43 And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.  Following God’s confession, Jesus does not leave Peter and the boys on the mountain top, but rather leads them down into the dusty highways and byways to be the presence of God in this world.  The disciples could not heal the boy, they were too busy acting alone, Christ was not with them.  When we find ourselves in the dusty streets, remember to make Christ a part of everything you do.  Here is where confession leads to ministry and ministry to confession round and round.   You are the Christ the son of the living God and here I am a child of God living in the world, Walk with me as together we bring God into the world in word, but especially in deed and working for justice that honors all the children of God. Remember, we are never alone.
