Yaconelli: unfinished

Thursday, August 15, 2024
Meditation:
    Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
    —1 Peter 2:2-3 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Jesus understood unfinishedness very well, which is why he was comfortable leaving eleven unfinished disciples. When he died, the disciples were confused, depressed, afraid, and doubtful. They faced a lifetime of finishing, just like you and me. Messy spirituality not only reminds us we will always be a work in progress; it also reminds us that the unfinished life is a lot more spiritual than we imagined.
    ... Mike Yaconelli (1942-2003), Messy Spirituality [2002], Zondervan, 2007, p. 30 (see the book)
    See also 1 Pet. 2:2-3; Matt. 16:15-23; 28:17; Mark 8:29-33; John 20:25; Rom. 8:5-8; 1 Cor. 2:14-15; 3:1-2; 14:20; Eph. 4:11-15; Col. 1:28; 3:2; Heb. 5:12-14
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, increase my growth in You.
