Lunchtime Lectio | Week 4, Day 3
Hello Members and Friends of Heritage United Methodist!
Each day during the Disciple’s Heart series, I’ll be sending you the 5-minute “Lunchtime Lectio.” Lectio Divina means “divine reading,” and it’s the last part of each reading for the day in the Disciple’s Heart daily workbook.
Read the day’s passage of Scripture slowly, listening for the resonance of each word in your soul as you read it.
Read it through again, listening for the word or phrase that grabs your heart more than any other in the passage.
Spend a moment in quiet prayer, simply saying the word or phrase over and over again, asking God to reveal to you why that one stood out.
Finally, share in the comments below which word or phrase stood out to you. If you feel led to share, include a sentence or two about why God pointed you toward these words in particular.
Sincerely,
Pastor Matt
Today’s Disciple’s Path Lectio Divina reading is from John 15:12-17.
'My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other. ' (John 15:12-17, NIV)
Which word or phrase do you feel led to reflect on today?
