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.
Lent is a time we need to prepare for the 40 day journey which is ahead of us. Pay attention to ourselves and our surroundings, leave some things behind and become more open to God and his Spirit.
For Antoni Gaudi, the visionary who designed the La Sagrada Familia, in Barcelona, love is not enough.
Technique alone was insufficient, to do things right, he needed love and technique. We are called not just to love but understand the work in which we engage. Cultivate intentional practices that cultivate love for God and love for God’s people.
Navigating life is tough work at times. All the things that burden us down, should not hold us back if we realise God’s mighty power, grace and forgiveness can be ours.
Live life doing the things Jesus calls us to do, love and serve him and others to the Glory of God
Good news in our humanity.
Being mortal and human, we are limited by our human nature and only see the outside.
Only God is the one who truly sees – this is ‘Good News’.
Jesus wasn’t into an easy and attractive message. Not something
an advertising agency would want to address.
He calls us to take up the cross, to share the burden of the world.
Carrying the cross is a way of life. It is about putting God first.
