The Story - Chapter 24

Read Luke 10:25-29 (The Story pg 337) three times:

• First time, read through at normal pace.
• Second, read slower, noticing any phrases or words that jump out at you.
• Finally, read and slow down at the phrases and words that jumped out at you, stopping to consider why the Holy Spirit may be lifting those up to you.

Take a few moments to prayerfully consider the following questions:

• The expert in the law seeks to justify himself. Are there ways in which you, like him, try to justify yourself before God? Why do you think you need to? 
• Jesus responds to the expert’s question with another question: “How do you read it?” How is Jesus calling you to read and live out Scripture differently this Lent?
• If you ask “Who is my neighbor?", who would Jesus tell you is your neighbor? Let the Holy Spirit guide this time, and be challenged by the images and thoughts where you're led.
