The disciples just followed Jesus – no questions asked! They wanted to “see the Father” he spoke of.
However Jesus sometimes really confused them with his teaching.
He went out and changed the world and showed the work of God and the Holy Spirit to all
and told them to go out and do likewise. What did all that mean?
God’s consistent and encouraging word to those who encounter the intensity of divine presence, the enormity of divine challenge, and the inescapable call to follow, believe and declare – the word of the Lord is very clear ALL AGE MESSAGE Some people, somehow connect with a dimension beyond the ordinary. Jeremiah was one of those,…
In Biblical times it was common for water to be used for cleansing (not just washing).
John did it differently when he immersed people, baptising in Jesus’s name.
Inviting them to be partners for God and into the warmth of God’s goodness and then taking goodness into the world, for all to partake of.
As we celebrate Pentecost our prayer may be that the Spirit may come and set us alight anew.
Then people will see God through us as we ‘shine’ in the world around us.
Christmas is just around the corner! Advent starts a new season and new year for the Christian Church next week.
Today we see Jesus as the ‘King of the Jews’ on a Cross, from which He still speaks words of forgiveness and grace to those who were mocking Him, all could hear. Jesus had qualities very
different to earthly kings.
How often are we told we don’t listen! The disciples didn’t question anything when Jesus said ‘Come follow me”. They dropped everything and listened.
Then they knew they belonged in this group, they were needed to support Jesus.
Their task was changing other people’s lives through the power of Jesus who shared the the love of God.
Do we obediently answer God’s calls? It could drastically change our future?
