And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Lucado goes on to say that Jesus lived such a powerful life because He could hear things that
others couldn't hear. He was in constant communication with His Father. The Father's voice
guided Jesus at all times. So in circumstances that would have sent others into panic or despair,
Jesus stayed serene and confident.
(Acts 13:52
NRSV)
Christian author Max Lucado writes of enduring a particularly bumpy airplane flight. During the
flight, he heard a passenger behind him breaking up with laughter. None of the other passengers
could find much to smile about, so Lucado was intrigued by this man's obvious enjoyment. He
learned that the man was listening to a comedy station on the airplane's headphone system. This
man seemed to be the only one listening to the comedian, so he was the only one enjoying his
flight.
No one else could hear what it was that kept him so amused.
Lord Jesus, as you live in me, help me to grow in my comfort and enjoyment of serving you.
Amen.
