ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 5TH FEBRUARY 2023.
Septuagesima marks nine weeks before Easter Sunday. After speaking to the multitude, Jesus went up into a mountain, sat down and having received His disciples, He started to teach them. The disciples here may include others outside the Twelve Apostles. They all benefited from this special teaching (this special dish) – the benefit of staying close to the Master.
This is the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount which stretches to Matthew Chapter 7, The Sermon presents the way of righteous living for those who are in God’s family. It contrasts the new way with the old way of the Scribes and the Pharisees and shows the Kingdom Life.
Those who adhere to the teachings shall be“Blessed.” Mountains are not easy to climb. It is only the energetic that can climb them. To get special food or insight from Jesus, you must climb the mountain with Him and be very close to Him.
This shall involve being prayerfulness, fasting and a deep study of the Word. Are you a disciple or among the multitude? You have to separate yourself from the crowd to dine with the Master.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, draw me closer to you as we climb the mountain together in Jesus’ name, Amen.
