Talk About Drawing Away From the Crowds with Greg
It’s Greg Asimakoupoulos to talk about drawing away from the crowds. Once again from the Wounded Lion Monument here in Luthern, Switzerland.
As I’ve expressed to you before, when I’m in this wonderful city, nestled on Lake Luthern, the Royce River beneath the Alps. I love to come and visit this most extraordinary work of art.
Today I’m wanting to talk about drawing away from the crowds. As Jesus did time and time again in the gospels. We are told that Jesus would arise before the sun rose and find himself in a lonely place drawing away from the disciples. Also those with whom he was teaching and healing. To be alone with the father and that’s what I’m attempting to do today. To simply be alone with this symbol for me which represents the Alan, the Christ who died.
He gave his life as a substitutionary atonement for us. Which is the picture that we have in the first of CS Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. The Lion, The Witch in the Wardrobe, Alan gives his life in order to save that of one of the children Edmund, who the evil white witch had taken hostage and was prepared to execute when Alan gives his life as a substitutionary death I mentioned yesterday.
That is the topic of my sermon at the International Church of Lucerne this Sunday, but for today drawing away from the crowd you know where I am. I am all alone.
