Lent - Fourth Day

 “Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip.  Isaiah 60 verse 4

When Jesus walked on earth, we understand that people assembled round him wherever he went.  Some wanted 'things'- mainly to be healed from ailments.  May came just to be near him, and try to catch some of his wisdom.  There is something about being in a crowd which is exciting.  Football fans know this.  The crowd is also unpredictable.  There is a degree of danger.  But this crowd is rich with children.  Children are joy bringers.

Question: Where about me is the attraction of Jesus?

Prayer: May I come with my gift.
