Lukas 10:34

In a world where so much division and tension exists, we’d all be better off if we learned to love others—even if it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable. In this 4-day plan, we’ll discuss who our neighbors are and how to love them.

Empathy allows us to perceive the needs of others, and bring hope and relief into their lives. Often, we can struggle with how to display empathy. Fortunately, we have a great example: in this Plan. We’ll look at what the Bible has to say about empathy, and how we can grow in ours in order to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

Ons kom weereens diep onder die indruk van die feit dat niks ons van God se liefde kan skei nie. Toe Karl Barth na ‘n lesing wat hy gegee het, deur ‘n student gevra is om op te som wat hy geleer het in sy werk as teoloog, het Bart gesê: Jesus min my salig lot, ek weet dit uit die Woord van God.

New Year. A New Day. God created these transitions to remind us that He is the God of New Beginnings. If God can speak the world into existence, He can certainly speak into the darkness of your life, creating for you a new beginning. Don’t you just love fresh starts! Just like this reading plan. Enjoy!
