Meditation 5:00

• Choose either the Levi's Feast (Luke 5:29-32), Parable of Wineskins (Luke 5:36-39), Disciples eat grain on Sabbath (Luke 6:1-5) or Jesus Heals on Sabbath (Luke 6:6-11).
• Visualize the event. Pretend you are there.
• What does it look like? What does it smell like? What do you feel? Do you taste anything?
• Try to see the event in as much detail as possible.
• In your imagination, move around the scene and interact with the objects and people.
• Does anyone talk with you? Do you want to ask anyone any questions?
• Imagine Jesus is talking only to you. What part of His talk strikes a chord with you? How will you live differently because of this talk?
