So I preached today at church, and I titled it "Walk on". Free copies are located at church!
Taking the story of the walk to Emmaus and Jesus appearing to the disciples in Luke 24:13-49, my message described our lives filled with these moments where we cannot move beyond them. We focus and lose sight of the overall vision, like the two disciples who couldn't see Jesus even though he was right in front of them. Moments that keep us "busy", moments of grief/sadness, frustration, or even joy could possibly act as walls in our lives, preventing us to see the larger picture.
What do we need to remember? that Jesus is with us. That is part of the vision, and remembering that Jesus walks with us will help us clarify everything else.
When we remember Jesus, we remember the vision.
Expect Jesus to be there, but God expects you to walk on. If there's anything you need to let go to get you past the walls in your life, just let it go. Like U2 Bono's song: You can only take so much...Walk on...leave it behind
Whatever is holding you from getting past the walls in your life, just let go and walk on with Jesus. When you leave it behind and walk on, expect Jesus to be beside you, reminding you what Jesus taught us and the big vision that we’re a part of.
QUESTIONS:
1. The eyes of a child - Think of a moment that you were so focused, that it commanded all of your attention.
2. Seeing vs. Visioning - Do you have moments in your life currently from preventing you from seeing a bigger vision?
3. Walk on - What things do you need to let go in order for you to get past these walls in your life?
