Study

Last week I had the great privilege of engaging in study. I am in the process of completing my Masters of Arts (Theology). At present I am having a fantastic time with the subject "Narrative and Theology in the gospel of Luke"
Now I know what you thinking..
That sounds hard... a lot of work... why bother?

Well yes, it is hard. It makes me think about God's word more and more. Just because it's hard doesn't mean it isn't good. I love delving deep into the word of God. The Gospel of Luke is a masterpiece. Jesus is caring, challenging and surprising. He is focused on offering life and hope to those who have not had it offered to them. That is hard but GREAT!!!

I have heard it said that the more you study the bible and it's corresponding theology then the more "dry" your spirituality becomes. I can say categorically that the reverse is true for me. The more I truly understand God's word and his intention for humanity then the more energised I become. The more passionate I am about my faith and my God. the more I want to see people saved and loving and serving Jesus. The more I want to immerse myself in His mission field, and the more I want the church to WAKE UP and take it's proper place in society.

Study is a wonderful thing. Without it we can be unprepared, for the task Jesus has for us.

If you get a chance to study God's word DO IT.

So want to know what Jesus mission is?

"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." (Luke 19:10)
