November 16 Lesson Recap

Busy? Most of us can relate to Martha (Lk 10:38-42) when she felt overwhelmed with a long list of things to get done made even worse from a sense that no one else seemed to care. Today, we followed Christ through a day in his life and found that He had a few "overwhelming" days himself. We read Mathew 14:13-36 and considered the emotional, mental and physical strain Jesus must have been under that day, yet he keep seeing and meeting needs. We also saw how Jesus looked for refuge and strength by seeking quiet time, which he was finally able to make happen. Conclusion: Jesus understands the busyness of our lives. He can relate to our emotionally, mentally and physically draining days. At times it may seem as if no one cares, but Christ not only cares, He understands. And he can help - as we'll see in up-coming lessons!
