Scripture: Luke 9:18
Once when Jesus was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
Thought for the Day: The Confessing Church was a group of Christians who stood against the Nazi’s during WWII. In his 1936 lecture, “The Presentation of New Testament Texts,” Dietrich Bonhoeffer proposed an alternative strategy of reading Scripture. Instead of questioning the Bible from their standpoint, as the German Christians were doing, Bonhoeffer challenged members of the Confessing Church to let the Bible question them. When people begin to do what Bonhoeffer suggested, they begin to discover something different about Jesus. They discover that Jesus is more than a historical figure to study – he is a living presence that continues to engage and challenge us.
Prayer: As I discover who you are, O Loving Lord, I more fully discover who I am. For that, I am thankful! Amen.
