The Way of Love: Learn

During the season of Epiphany, we invite you to take time exploring The Way of Love. Sit with the words we will share weekly from scripture and from the Book of Common Prayer, pray over each practice, reflect and discern where God is calling you. Remember that no one follows Jesus alone. The ideal way to learn The Way of Love is in a community of love, support, and accountability. We pray that you find that here, at Church of the Redeemer. Join us this week as we go deeper with the practice of LEARN.
LEARN
Reflect on Scripture each day, especially on Jesus' life and teachings
"Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them." - John 14:23
"Grant us so to hear (the Holy Scriptures), read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them." - Book of Common Prayer, p. 236
By reading and reflecting on Scripture, especially the life and teachings of Jesus, we draw near to God and God's word dwells in us. When we open our minds and hearts to Scripture, we learn to see God's story and God's activity in everyday life.
For Reflection and Discernment
- What ways of reflecting on Scripture are most life-giving for you?
- When will (or do) you set aside time to read and reflect on Scripture in your day?
- With whom will you share in the commitment to read and reflect on Scripture?
