Hello All,
Last Sunday's service was an all-age service so the vicor spoke about how we are all people of different ages, and from different backgrounds but we come together to worship Jesus and learn from the teaching of our Lord, as we are one family of God.
"God in three persons, bessed trinity"
God is the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Be Glorified
Reading - John 20:1-18
"Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said 'They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!' So Peter and the others disciple started for the tomb. Both were running, but the othe disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally, the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) Then the disciples went back to where they were staying. Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. They asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying?'
'They have taken my Lord away,' she said, 'and I don't know where they have put him.' At this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realise that it was Jesus. He asked her, 'Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?' Thinking he was the gardener, she said, 'Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.' Jesus said to her, 'Mary.'
She turned towards him and cried out in Aramaic, 'Rabboni!' (which means teacher).
Jesus said, 'Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.' Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: 'I have seen the Lord!' And she told them that he had said these things to her."
Luke 24:5
"In their fright the woman bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, 'Why do you look for the living among the dead?"
This shows that we do not always recognise Jesus or his teaching. Sometime we do not even recognise what he has done for us. However, we find our true place when God opens our eyes.
U2: I still haven't found what I'm looking for
We discover answers through searchin. When Jesus said 'Mary' answers where discovered as she realised that he was her Lord. He said her name and her eyes were opened. Jesus knows each and every persons name and through this he will open our eyes to his presence and teachings.
Before the thorne of God above
He gave his life for us, so the we could live sin free
He has our names tattooed on his heart, he knows us all by name and loves us unconditionery.
Shout to the Lord
This message reminds me of a song a once listened to some years ago 'Holding nothing back'
