Love is not something that needs to wear labels. When we are involved we are doing it in the spirit of Jesus. We are testifying to God’s love never ending. Love never fails. Love cannot be put to death. God’s love in Jesus remains
A new era has begun. John is uncomfortable in baptising Jesus – someone whom he feels inferior to and should not need repentance.
In this act Jesus becomes one with us – it is more about God’s solidarity with us than it is about our repentance of sins.
Can we be confident in such a God who is with us and for us?
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!

‘apart’! The promise is, not to just survive but to thrive!
