Luke 23:26-31

Rev. Charlie Phillips

According to a recent study, the average American spends 8 hours a day sleeping. This isn’t surprising news. What is surprising is that the average American spends 3 hours a day watching tv, 2.5 hours perusing social media, 1 hour eating, 45 minutes in food preparation, 40 minutes in personal grooming, 35 minutes on household chores, and 30 minutes playing games. Add that all to a typical American work day and you realize that the average American doesn’t have much time left for other important things…like thinking! The truth is that most people simply don’t spend any meaningful amount of time thinking deeply. We struggle to be contemplative. But as we’ll see in our text this week, Jesus highly values deep thinking and contemplation. Join us this Sunday as we dive into Luke 23:26-31.
