Reading the Crippled Woman

Ready to read and discuss together another woman from the Bible?

Let's start with a prayer:

"Lord God, thank You for recording the stories in the Bible for me to read and learn from. Open my eyes to see You at work in this woman's story, and in my own life. Help me to see You and Your values more clearly through her encounter with You.

In Jesus' Name, Amen."

The woman's story can be found in Luke 13:10-17, and I've linked it here for you to read.

After you've read, post your "I read it" here, and you can include your first name and location if you wish to share that with the group. Then think it over for a day or so -- maybe even re-read it or journal about it -- before you begin posting any discussion.

We want to give the text and the Holy Spirit a chance to reach us and teach us directly through the words of the Bible before we look to the commentary of others for insight. Ready? ... Happy Reading!
