The disciples walked the road to Emmaus and were lost and confused by what had happened.
Jesus joined them but they did not recognize Him. He opened the scripture, restored their hope and re-framed their understanding.
Many of us still walk through the seasons of confusion and disappointment and do also not recognise Jesus.
We need to expect Jesus to meet us along the way, in the course of everyday.
Mary gave her very best expensive perfume to show her love for Jesus. It was a free but costly gift that Jesus gave – his life, to show his love for us. ALL AGE MESSAGE When the ‘jar’ is broken open the sweet healing of Christ can be released. A broken ‘jar’ can transform…
Faith versus Works or Grace versus law?
The age old problem conundrum!
Is it Faith and Grace that is needed to lead us to life in Christ and righteousness?
In living out our faith, what hope is possible. Can shattered lives be restored, dignity reclaimed and self worth be rediscovered?
Can our society look with outward eyes and love with open arms to see greed replaced by grace, and fear and suspicion replaced by love and trust?
After all, it is God’s kingdom and not ours.
Here we have the first Sunday of Advent – the beginning of the New Christian Year, which leads us to Christmas.
How are we to respond – for many people it is a complex time? But even long before Jesus was born, Isaiah encouraged us to draw away from all the flurry and take time to listen, pray and long for the vision of the Kingdom of God, for each of us.
In our very troubled world how do we navigate a sense of peace?
Many are locked away in fear but Jesus tells us 3 times “Peace be with you”. Take Notice!
Jesus has a solution for doubters – not only Thomas but for all of us.
This is so all may have life and a life that takes away our fears.
