Today's reading: Luke 9
I'm utterly arrested (as He no doubt intended) by Jesus' Word in verse 44, as He lays out His deadly destiny: "Let these words sink into your ears..." Jesus ain't playing: He wasn't then, He isn't now. It's too easy for any of us to bypass the cross on our way to the resurrection, but our Lord doesn't want us to miss this. May He make our ears fertile soil to receive His Word!
What's your Word?
