Question:
- When Satan told Jesus the following, what was he referring to? (If you get stuck, refer back to Day 131).
For it is written: “He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”
- What does this tell us about Satan?

Video: “Creed” – Rich Mullins (with introduction by Rich)
I hope I would leave a legacy of joy; a legacy of real compassion. Because I think there is a great joy in real compassion. I don’t think that you can know joy apart from caring deeply about people, caring enough about people that you actually do something. But I have a feeling like if my life is motivated by my ambition to leave a legacy, what I will probably leave as a legacy is ambition. But if my life is motivated by the power of the Spirit in me, if I live in the awareness of the indwelling Christ, if I allow His presence to guide my actions, to guide my motives, those sorts of things, that’s the only time I think that we really leave a great legacy. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. My ambition to be a good guy is a fleshly ambition. And when Christ calls us to take up our cross and follow him, a lot of us think that what that means is we’re supposed to lay down our vices, and we’re supposed to cling to virtues, but I think that unless Christ is Lord of our virtues, our virtues become dangerous to us and dangerous to the people around us. I think that when Christ calls us to take up our cross, what He means is you must die not only to whatever vices are in your life, which he will eventually kill out, you must also die to whatever virtues are in your life. Your life is not valuable because you are an articulate speaker, your life is not valuable because you are a generous person, your life is not valuable because of any of that. If we empty ourselves of everything and allow God to be present, then it’s no longer us, it’s Him. Then it becomes a spiritual thing. And that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. And that’s when I think Christianity really begins to make sense.

Video: “Peace” – Rich Mullins (Faces of 2010)
Though we’re strangers, still I love you. I love you more than your mask. And you know you have to trust this to be true, and I know that’s much to ask. But lay down your fears, come and join this feast. He has called us here, you and me.
And may peace rain down from Heaven like little pieces of the sky, Little keepers of the promise falling on these souls this drought has dried. In His Blood and in His Body, in the Bread and in this Wine,
Peace to you. Peace of Christ to you.
And though I love you, still we’re strangers, prisoners in these lonely hearts. And though our blindness separates us, still His light shines in the dark.
And His outstretched arms are still strong enough behind these prison bars to set us free.
So may peace rain down from Heaven like little pieces of the sky, Little keepers of the promise falling on these souls this drought has dried. In his Blood and in His Body, in the Bread and in this Wine,
Peace to you. Peace of Christ to you.
Video: “Call It Dreaming” – Iron & Wine
…Where we break when our hearts are strong enough, We can bow ’cause our music’s warmer than blood.
Where we see enough to follow, We can hear when we are hollow.
Where we keep the light we’re given, We can lose and call it living…
Questions:
- Discuss community as it relates to two similar words: communion, and unity
- What do you think is meant by the following line?
Where we keep the light we’re given, we can lose and call it living.
