The New Testament paints a very different image of God to the way He was understood in the Old Testament.
Jesus’ actions and teaching show
what His father is like – if we know Jesus then we know about His
father – God.
God has prepared a place for all
and is open to a relationship for all ordinary people to be in His kingdom.
The 2 disciples acted on what they were asked to do This provided the means for Jesus to claim unique kingship over Jerusalem and the world. We never know how God will use our obedience.
Two ordinary people both had extraordinary dreams and visions, then struggled with life and all its emotions.
Jesus was born and assures us that
Immanuel is with us!
A famous USA musician tried to cut through the noise of rush hour with his powerful music.
Do we ever expect anything
extraordinary in the ordinary?
Jesus showed in extraordinary ways
who he was by what he was doing.
“We can read the Bible and be shocked!
Today we have a nameless woman, 1st Nations person from Canaan, considered pagan and unclean.
She comes to Jesus asking for healing of her sick daughter. Jesus gives her the expected answer of rejection.
However, her persistence is courageous and Jesus’ response moves to respect and inclusion.
The daughter is healed, grace is received and a new way of thinking is modelled”.
Just what is Heaven and what does it mean to us? Why does God live up high?
