From a sermon based on Luke 10:38-42 Finding God in the Clutter (Jesus, Mary & Martha)

No matter the space, we’ll fill it, whether our homes, our computers, or our schedules. How do we find the space we need for everything that needs to go into it?

So I was at a new grocery store to get supper, but when I went to check out, I realized I didn’t have my wallet, and they didn’t take Apple Pay, so I acted like I was self-checking, put it all in a bag, and walked out. That’s when I got caught. But then a guy stops the clerk and produces a receipt with my name on it for my items. Not just my items, but everything I’ll ever buy there in the future. All paid for, in advance.Before I ever walked into the store.

Then I notice he has a whole stack of these receipts, all with different names on them.
Oh, wait. It wasn’t a store. It was my life. And it was Jesus. And He paid with His life. And you still can’t pay with Apple Pay.
