Surprises in encoutering with Jesus

I changed my theme of sharing this morning among MSI colleagues.
I adopted two recent surprises as a start.

• The surprise of not having hot weather in the hot furnace city in past China trip.

• The surprise of no need to pay my repaired digital camera two days ago.

Then I worked on 5 surprises from the interactions between Jesus and His disciples in the gospels.

1. The challenge of Known Common Sense.
--- the surprise of asking "Who touched my clothes ?" to the woman of great bleeding in Mk 5:30-31

2. The challenge of our Self-Centredness
--- The surprise of giving the order "You give them something to eat !" in Mk 6:37

3. The challenge of a Higher-Level Understandings
--- The surprise of " Could someone have brought Him food ? " in Jn 4: 33

4. The challenge of our Professional Expertise
---The surprise of "Put out into deep-water,and let down the nets for a catch "in Lk 5:4-6

5. The challenge of our Supernatural Faith
--- The surprise of "Why are you so afraid,do you still have no faith ? " in Mk 4:40-41

Being disciples of Jesus,we ought to learn from the Master. We all the more need to experience surprises in our daily lives.
