Stay Connected

This morning, Jeanne and I began reading the Holy Week story from the Gospel of Luke in The Message for our devotions. We had an interesting discussion over Luke 22:4

"Leaving the others, he conferred with the high priests and the Temple guards about how he might betray Jesus to them."

Our discussion centered around the phrase "Leaving the others..." How often when we separate ourselves from others, we stumble and fall. When we no longer want to be subject to accountability or we lack followership we become vulnerable. Judas left the group. He did what he had to do. He did what he wanted to do. Don't wander off by yourself. Stay connected and avoid a fall.
