Digging Deeper~ 2ed Sunday after Easter

Acts 2:14a,36-41:Peter preached of Jesus being the Christ & Lord. Then the hearers asked,"What can we do to be saved?" Peter told them,"Repent of your sins & be Baptiste. Then you shall receive the Holy Spirit". Ps. 116:1-4,12-19: I love the Lord for he heard me when I cried to him in sorrow. Now I will praise Him for he has given me the blessing of salvation. I will keep my vows to him and give my sacrifices of thanksgiving  in the courts of the Lord house in the presence of his people.  1 Peter 1:17-23: You were called by God the Father to a Holy life. Live it with respect to God. You were not saved by the unholy living that those before you showed you how to live. But you are saved from that worthless life through Jesus' blood which he shed when he died on the cross. then he rose from the dead to give you eternal life with him in heaven. Now live the pure life that God through Jesus has given you by obeying God's truth. One way to do that is to love one another deeply remembering that your salvation came from something that will last forever.  Luke 24:13-35: Jesus meets with a couple of his followers on the road to Emmas. and walks & talks with them sharing of all the things that Christ was to suffer using the prophecies. Then the followers go to the disciples to tell them.  As I read these verses I am reminded of how I have problems seeing through my reading glasses after I have been doing things like cooking that make them dirty. To see clearly through them again I need to clear the dirt away. Our souls are like that. At times as we work through our says, we can get spiritually dirty. this can make it hard for us to see where God wants us to go & do. That is when  we need to go back and remember what Jesus did for us when he died, and then rose again for our sins to give us life. when we do that , we will again be able to see the path of obedience he wants us to walk.  Challenge of the week: This week take the time to check to see if you are on the path of obedience or if sin has clouded your spiritual view. If it is clouded, ask for forgiveness , then ask Jesus to show you the path he wants you to walk is.  Accomplishment of the week:  When you did this challenge what did you find? If you found that your view was clouded, how did you get back on the right path?
