Just walk across the room - The greatest gift

Luke 5:27 - 32

As we start our series called Just Walk Across the Room, we're reminded that God himself was the first room crosser.  Throughout history, in the stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the Israelites God has come close to his people and acted so that they may live in a close and loving relationship with him.  Whilst we continued to rejected him, he made the ultimate crossing of a room and entered our time and space as a human.  The birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus is the greatest news that we can ever receive.  Knowing that Christ has saved us and brings us new life, changes us now and forever and gives us the motivation to cross rooms and share our faiht withe others.

The metaphor to Just Walk Across the Room helps reminds us of how we can move from a circle of comfort where we're with our friends, to a place where we can contact others, connect with them in a deeper way and communicate the good news of Jesus with them.  All the time praying that the inspiration of the Spirit will lead them to make a commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
