A message on New beginnings by Rev Prof William (Bill) Loader
Mark’s Gospel makes no mention of a baby in a manger, shepherds or angels.
In Mark we are introduced to the grown up, ready to act Jesus.
Be revitalized by knowing this Jesus, attuned to our darkness of despair, disbelief and aching loneliness that affects many humans today. This is where we find the ‘Gold’ without the ‘Glitter’.
Jesus travelled light – stripped away all that was not necessary.
In times of much transformation – we need to travel lightly.
Let the unnecessary go. Simply carry with you the Love of God who loves you.
Love yourself, neighbor and even enemies.
Mary goes to the tomb, the tomb is empty, a man appears, she hears her name, her heart explodes with joy!
She asks the smallest of mercies, but receives the greatest of gifts, an encounter with her friend, Messiah, Rabbi-nah!
She remembers the Good Shepherd. No other voice can define or limit who she is. She had to go and tell.
Ruth – a story of one woman’s love, friendship, devotion, courage and faith.
God provides people to share parts of our lives with – God does not want us to journey alone.
Garry explains what must have been going through the minds of the followers of Jesus after the events of Easter from the joy of Palm Sunday to the Crucifixion
