Reflection
Read through Luke 24:44-49 and ask yourself the following question: What word or phrase is the Spirit drawing me to in this passage?
Read through Luke 24:44-49 a second time and ask yourself the following question: What is God saying to me through this passage about who He is, what He has done, or what He has promised to do?
Read through Luke 24:44-49 a third time and ask yourself the following question: How is God inviting me to respond to what He has said to me in this passage? What is He asking me to believe for myself? What is He asking me to share with others? And with whom?
