Last weekend I had the great pleasure of teaching and preaching at the Swedish Christian Medical Student conference. I was made to feel really welcome and greatly encouraged by my time with the students and doctors there. Together we looked at the Bible verses Matthew 6:31-33 and Colossians 2:6-7, considering the treasure found in knowing, trusting and growing in Jesus. We thought about what it means to 'walk in Christ' as a medical student and as a doctor, as well as what this might look like when working abroad. There was also time for food, walks, (extreme)games, relaxing and praising God. The concept of 'Fika' (swedish cake, coffee and conversation) was also introduced to me. Liz was also able to come with me, another blessing :-) Sweden is a really great place!
Matthew 6:31-33
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Colossians 2:6-7
Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.
