Last week I was attending one of our LifeGroups—which is one of the best parts of my job—and we where having a great discussion on the second part of Romans Chapter 5. This is one of the “headiest” sections of the book. Paul is introducing an entirely new theological concept and he is being very “Greek” in his explanation. It’s hard to follow. It’s hard to digest. It’s hard to understand.
But the LifeGroup leader was doing a great job guiding the discussion and keeping the group on the right track. Paul is talking about how Christ overcame Adam’s sin…how His sacrifice conquers our legacy of sin. He’s talking about how Jesus brings us into right relationship with God. He’s talking about the power of grace over sin. Great topics and great discussion.
Like I said, the leader was doing a great job. And he had just finished making this great point…bringing some of the discussions together…when someone’s cell phone sang out: “Message Received!” The timing was brilliant. It brought a laugh and drove the point home.
Message received.
I wish I had that more often in my life—some external indicator to tell me when the message is received. For me and for others. ;o)
