Wednesday: Luke 6:46-49 Walking on water
Scripture lesson: I find this passage interesting because it shows both Jesus' divinity and his humanity. Yes, he could walk on water if he wanted to, but he forgot that this might be disturbing to his disciples. “He intended to pass them by.” He was just going on by to meet them at the other side. They, of course, freaked! So he had to stop and settle them down.
Time to reflect: Even Jesus could sometimes be clueless – even while walking on water. Pray a prayer of thanksgiving to God that our Savior could be clueless like us and still be God.
The Wise and Foolish Builders
46"Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 47I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. 48He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."
