MJC D20 W3 Take up cross

Loke1 & Loke2, our MJC mascots

Impact of MJC

My yoke is easy

Ponder: Why did Jesus choose Judas?

Betrayal is Real

Warn us about temptation

We come with no warantee (not immune from failure)

If all Saints, standard too high

The RESPONSE to calling was IMMEDIATE

Jesus good employer

Able to predict, prophecy

EG Get donkey

EG Get Upper room

It all happened as he said it would

Humans are unteachable

Need to repeat

             repeat

             repeat

Need to be IN the world

      but not OF the world

John 3:16 said by Jesus

know the quote

read it umpteen times

never realised it was said by Jesus

God works in upside down ways

World ways vs Jesus's ways

Christian Pharisees

Christian Saducees

Christian Heroditians

We need to show mercy

to reach out to the lost

Summary
PROs and CON's of being a disciple
The results

On our unused resources

Luke 5:2
Jesus used fishermen's unused boats

"Taking up cross" may seem remote, intangible
Looking at how we use our resources (our boats)
may put it in a more tangible way.

Useful reflection of self
Are we hapy with state of affairs?
Do we want to make any change?

[NB on photographed chart I wrongly calculated denominator:
3 groups of 4 people have 3X40 beans]
