HEPHATHA LUTHERAN CHURCH
1720 W Locust St.
DAILY DEVOTION
Thursday, April 3 Pastor Mary Martha blessing you this season of Lent.
Luke 15 shows us Jesus facing hatred for eating and spending time with outcasts, in this case, tax collectors and other sinners. Jesus did this all the time. By spending time with outcasts and eating with them and accepting them in the love of God, Jesus himself becomes an outcast, cast out even from life, cast out to execution on the cross. Given that we know Jesus was with the outcasts, we as the church of Jesus are to follow his lead and welcome the outcast, the stranger, the lonely, the naked, the stranger in the land, the poor, …. May our love for Jesus increase this Lent as we tend the outcasts with his love and the love of the church, the body of Christ. Amen.
