We live in a post-resurrection age, we are invited to be a resurrection people. In this Word Around the Bush we explore Acts 2 where Peter addresses the crowd. For a clear and really helpful exploration of the Gospel reading of Luke 24, go back to Easter Sunday and Rev. Natasha He's message.
In this season of life we think about the way doubt and faith are entwined together and demonstrated in the life of Thomas, disciple and follower of Christ. Welcome to Saltbush and Word Around the Bush.
Hope on the Road: Recognizing the Risen Christ!
Jesus' entry into Jerusalem is a proclamation of the Reign of God. A reign of love, mercy, forgiveness, freedom and reconciliation against oppressive corrupted powers that seek to silence all protest.
As we continue in Lent, we comes to John's masterful story of the raising of Lazarus. What a journey this passage takes us on, which holds within it all the reality of human suffering and death and leads us on, towards Jesus' own death on the cross. If we look beyond the obvious, this passage also challenges us in the ways we bind up, rather than liberate for life in its fullness.
Blindness is these passages is not only about eyes, but about the heart. Sight is not just vision but trust. Christ, our Good Shepherd, leads us through the valleys of confusion, suffering and doubt.
The woman at well encountered Jesus. They had a rich and transformational conversation. Her life would never be the same. How are the conversations you have with God or about God going?
