Be Prepared
We who follow Jesus are anxiously awaiting his return. But how do we wait well? What does healthy waiting look like? Jesus tells a story about 10 bridesmaids waiting for a wedding - 5 who prepare to wait and 5 who don't. Those who don't prepare, who aren't stocked up on oil, miss the wedding. With this story, Jesus invites us to wait well by spending regular time making ourselves available to the Holy Spirit. That preparedness looks like reading scripture, prayer and other spiritual practices.

During this series, we’ve been exploring the three temptations using Dostoyevsky’s “The Grand Inquisitor”.
This Sunday, we’re going to switch things up. I’m going to share some of my own fiction that I’ve used to reflect on the nature of Jesus third test.
What did it mean that Satan told Jesus to worship him? How could Satan offer up the kingdoms of the world?
Questions to consider… until we gather on Sunday. See you then!
