Description: There are lots of movies about what it would be like to explore an alien world. Sometimes, when we read passages from Scripture about cultures that seem ancient in our day, it can feel like we're doing the same: exploring something foreign or strange. After all, what can a passage about Jewish fasting practices possibly have to do with us? The miracle of Scripture is that what Jesus was speaking to them, He also intended for us. In this passage about fasting, Jesus invites us to a deeper communion with God in our own lives. It's freely available, if we will practice the personal discipline to pursue it! God's Word implores us in our day: don't miss out on the riches of a secret life that is hidden in God!
