Mama C

April 26, 2020
Friends, the Resurrected Christ is made known to us in the breaking of bread. That simplest of acts. And Mama C taught me and so many other students that. You see, at the end of the day, the Gospel is not proclaimed so much by eloquent sermons, or fancy church buildings, or huge choirs, or whatever else. At the end of the day, the Gospel is proclaimed simply by breaking bread with one another.
You see, this thing we call discipleship is a wild and precious journey.  It takes us from what we are used to and transports us to unfamiliar places where we find a familiar grace.  Sure, I had never been to Macedonia or Philippi.  However, I sure did recognize the hospitality that was shown us by Lydia and her family.  It was the hospitality that was first shown to me when I was on the road to Damascus and I was struck blind and had to be led back home and cared for for several days.  I’ve received that hospitality.  And I believe it is my duty to reciprocate it.
