Our encounter for this week is found in the book of Luke where Jesus gets invited to a dinner party by a religious leader who hopes to expose Jesus as a spiritual fraud. Through this intimate setting things get heated quickly and Jesus, as so often is the case, turns the table on his host. Through this story our own heart gets revealed and we realize how desperately we need one another to help expose one of our greatest needs. By learning to live an authentic, transparent life with one another in small circles God helps remind us what posture is needed for the gospel to take root and transform our lives.
