Christ Church Jerusalem

13 October 2019 - On the morning of Erev Sukkot, Rev. David Pileggi compares the gratitude of the healed Samaritan leper with the biblical Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus on way to Jerusalem modeling discipleship. Earlier in the chapter, when disciples say "Increase our faith," they are asking "What does faith look like?" The answer comes in the encounter with the Samaritan leper who is persistence in expressing his gratitude and worship. The Feast of Tabernacles welcomes the outsiders to worship and express gratitude to the Creator God. Entering into the rickety sukkah is coming before to the LORD in faith and trusting him for our security. Readings: Leviticus 23:34-44; Deuteronomy 16:11-17; Luke 17:11-19 Blessed by our teachings?
