Worship into the Week-
Luke 6: 17-23
Lectionary C
Jesus Ministers to a Great Multitude
A great crowd of his disciples,
a great multitude of people
from all of Judea and Jerusalem
and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon-
they all came.
Because Jesus was there in the Galilee.
They came to hear him and to be healed.
Those with unclean spirits were cured.
All the crowd tried to touch him,
for the power came out from him
and healed all of them.
Simple. Dramatic. Truth.
These miracles opened the door for him
to share words that would change their lives.
The Beatitudes.
Turning the way to act and think
and treat others upside down.
The very law of human interaction
was to be "changed".
Just as they knew their former self before healing-
that was their "old life".
This was the beginning of their "new life."
No turning back for those who heard
and listened with their hearts.
A new code of ethics
was set stage for the followers of Jesus.
The reward would not be here on earth,
but a heavenly reward.
Rejoice in this new day.
