From the Pastor’s Desk. Easter is with us and the mornings are darker and cooler as we head towards winter. These darker nights take me back to the time of Jesus betrayal and arrest. Remember they came for Jesus with torches glowing and after Jesus was taken captive Peter warmed himself by the enemy’s fire in Caiaphas courtyard. This Wednesday, weather permitting, we meet in our church olive garden. We will take a look at the time Jesus and His disciples gathered that dark evening. It was the only night Jesus asked His disciples to ‘watch with Him’. In other words, to be supporting Him not only by staying awake but seeking God in prayer support as well. The disciples failed on both counts. That evening and Jesus’ death alone on the Cross at Calvary tell us plainly that we play no part in our salvation. It’s all God’s work! I am so glad it is and that we are saved by grace. Join us this Wednesday in the garden, dress for the weather and bring a seat and we will travel back in time to the Garden of Gethsemane together.
Helen’s Heart After three days I will rise – Matthew 27:63 What wonderous words of hope these words are. Pilate, the priests and the pharisees tried to curtail the power and plans of God. Jesus had already told Pilate he had no power over Him except the Father allowed it and when they came to the garden with swords and clubs Jesus informed them that He could ask His Father and 12 legions of angels would be provided. Through these statements Jesus was affirming Who He is; the all powerful God. They could no more stop Jesus rising from the dead as they could prevent Jesus going to the Cross. This was God’s plan for your and my salvation. What hope we have in the Resurrection power. I have come that they may have life – John 16:14
