Hebrews 13:15-21:
Brothers and Sisters: Through Jesus, let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have; God is pleased by sacrifices of that kind. Obey your leaders and defer to them, for they keep watch over you and will have to give an account, that they may fulfill their task with joy and not with sorrow, for that would be of no advantage to you. May the God of peace, who brought up from the dead, the great shepherd of the sheep by the blood of the eternal covenant, furnish you with all that is good, that you may do his will. May he carry out in you what is pleasing to him through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
***St. Mark 5:30-34: ***
The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all they had done and taught. He said to them, ***“Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” ***People were coming and going in great numbers, and they had no opportunity even to eat. So they went off in a boat by themselves to a deserted place. People saw them leaving and many came to know about it. They hastened there on foot from all the towns and arrived at the place before them. When Jesus disembarked and saw the vast crowd, ***his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. ***
The Protestants don’t always want to acknowledge that we need to do good works in order to please God, but this 1st psg - & many other passages bear this out.
I love when Jesus invites us to “come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.” The un-Christian world can drive a devout follower nuts!! :banghead: :hypno:
uch:
I love how Jesus has pity on us, knowing how weak and needy and messed up (I could go on) we are - or do i speak only of myself?
