April 2000
So many things are changing these
days. Our lives are full of ever changing ideas and
gadgets. Did you know that a recent survey tells us that by mid
summer over half of the UK population are going to have mobile
phones? Yet all these gadgets start becoming obsolete as soon as
they are sold, new ideas and items being already in the pipeline!
Yet some things around endure and remind us of lasting values.
Spring is here, outside the Church office the daffodils have sprung up
again, young men and women can be seen walking hand in hand in the
High St, people are in their gardens and dreaming of summer days.
Easter is here again and despite all the apparently 'trendy', &
'fashionable' alternatives more men and women than ever are becoming
followers of the Jesus. Jesus whose true nature was revealed at
the very first Easter.
His nature was LOVE, His mission to come to earth as a man, live a
perfect life and then allow Himself to be put to death on behalf of
mankind, and demonstrate by His resurrection that death need no longer
be a barrier. But that all who come into a relationship of faith
with him could be sure of both FULL LIFE NOW & ETERNAL LIFE when
this one ends. |
