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’.

ALL AGE MESSAGE

We are challenged to think of Christmas as presents for all time – Jesus, Gifts and Every Day.

The gift of Jesus, showing us the face of God, is given to us everyday not just for 25th December.

In this week John is giving us a theological construct.

Rather than telling us an actual historical event John’s aim is to make clear theologically what our response to Jesus should be. The Messianic time has begun; the reign of God is present.

The season of Epiphany is ‘God’s appearing to us’.  We are called to marvelous things!

BySharon Dennis

John the Baptist may seem to be an odd character to be the one pointing to Jesus as ‘The Light’.

He came to tell people to pay attention and recognise who Jesus was, tell the story of the coming Messiah and to worn them to be ready!

Our mission is also John’s mission – in preparing for Christmas – ‘What would John do?’

12th May 2024 (Year B – Easter 7) “A Fundamentalist About Grace”

ByCharles Pope

If we want the world to see God’s love it has to be through Christians (His people), when they overtly act in love to their neighbors, with God’s help.   John Paul 2 reaction after he was shot, was still ringing powerfully in the mind of the aggressor 30 years later, because John Paul’s act of forgiveness, was a revelation of the love of God to that man.  Hear that story today!
