These days we never know when or where we are being watched. Invisible cameras are appearing everywhere and some one is at the other end checking on us!
There is another invisible eye that watches over us because we have been chosen from the foundation of time.
For those who know His goodness, this invisible eye can be a source of Joy, Blessing and Encouragement.
The men of the Synagogue could not believe that a Carpenter (Jesus), could be trusted as being a man of God, full of love and grace.
When control that manages the details of our life is relinquished and we start to trust in God, then real soul experiences will happen as God has our best interests at heart. Exercise patience and pay attention to life around you and wait to be surprised by God.
Jesus knows no barriers of age, culture, wealth or religious status. He is in charge and his timing is perfect.
We can come to him anywhere, at any time, with our needs for ourselves or for others.
Our requests can be public or asked quietly and privately.
When we seem to be “at the end of of the rope” Jesus says, “Don’t be afraid, only believe”. Jesus gives hope to all.
Finding peace and calmness in the troubles that surround us, is not easy. Fear is often present.
However if we practice a consciousness of Christ in our lives, everyday, this will bring peace and calmness so we can recognise there is no need to be afraid.
God is always present whether we are conscious of it or not.
Families can sometimes be damaging. Even in the time of Jesus’ ministry this happened.
Jesus’ ministry was to liberate people from the powers that oppressed them.
God always offers an open relationship of acceptance; of forgiveness; of belonging.

Jesus is the one who reminded us that compassion is at the heart of God. In confronting the laws of his day, Jesus reminds us that people and their needs are far more important than keeping laws that stop us being obedient to God.
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!
Mary goes to the tomb, the tomb is empty, a man appears, she hears her name, her heart explodes with joy!
She asks the smallest of mercies, but receives the greatest of gifts, an encounter with her friend, Messiah, Rabbi-nah!
She remembers the Good Shepherd. No other voice can define or limit who she is. She had to go and tell.
Troubled and full of doubts the disciples are hiding in a locked room.
Jesus appears and stands there. An example of “A life after life after death.”
Appearances of Jesus to his disciples shows the message of, ‘Faith and Hope and Doubt’ are in collision, which helps us to face our own confusion. The one who died stands “In the Midst” with a new offering.
