Luke 7:24 … In<strong>to</strong> the Wilderness<br />
(11/07/20<strong>16</strong>)<br />
“What did you go out in<strong>to</strong> the wilderness <strong>to</strong> find?”<br />
~ Jesus (Luke 7:24)<br />
It is not for us <strong>to</strong> go looking in<strong>to</strong> the Heart of another for our own<br />
Enlightenment or Truth, nor is it for us <strong>to</strong> go looking elsewhere for opportunities<br />
<strong>to</strong> fulfill our Life‟s many Purposes … Indeed, everything we need <strong>to</strong> know is<br />
already within us, and everything we need <strong>to</strong> Do is always within sight.<br />
Jesus preached this same Truth clearly & consistently in Matthew 6:34<br />
(“Today‟s challenges are enough for <strong>to</strong>day”) and in Matthew 25:40 (“Just as you<br />
do it for one of the least of my family, so <strong>to</strong>o do you do it for me”), and he did so<br />
in this particular biblical passage as well – gently chastising his disciples for<br />
seeking in him what they should have been finding within themselves; looking<br />
elsewhere for their faith when they should have been enlivening their own;<br />
looking for someone <strong>to</strong> save them from their own trials & tremblings when they<br />
should have been enlivening his teachings by seeking <strong>to</strong> save others from theirs.<br />
