Sanctuary Foundation: Saved By Surprise

 

Dear friends

 

 

As we approach the last week of Lent, we are considering hospitality through the lens of ‘’surprise'. This is the sixth video in the series exploring how the six categories of human emotion are portrayed in the Easter story.

 

 

 

Sometimes surprises can be tough - a sudden loss, a deep trauma, another change of plan. And sometimes they can be wonderful - seeing a long lost friend, having a life-changing encounter, discovering a new purpose to life. The first Easter included all these surprises and asks us whether we are still prepared to surprise and be surprised.

 

 

 

Please watch the video below and then take a moment to reflect on three questions.

Questions

 

 

 

1.   What have been the biggest surprises in your life?

2.   What surprises you about the encounter between Jesus and the duo of dejected disciples walking the Emmaus road out of Jerusalem?

3.   How does this story inspire you to welcome others into your home?
