Rev Guy BentonKia ora, All Saints I am blown away by the now-but-not-yet of the cosmic world that we know is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. I have been in this game for several years now, as have many of you. I look out at the world and struggle to fathom the evil that roams around, war, violence, oppression, deception, greed and the list goes on. Then I spend time in my local community where many of these things roam, and I see day after day the power of Christ breaking through into people's lives and transforming their hearts and setting them free. The kingdom that is in heaven is breaking through here, and we are seeing it. This week's reading is Jesus being more overt, following on from his I am the gate message, declaring that he is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE! No one comes to the Father (God) except through him. And since the dawn of time, God has been making a way for us to connect with him. The more we choose him, the more he is stripping away the stuff we are holding onto, the stuff we are trying to control, the deals we try to make with him; he wants not just us but ALL of us. He is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE! John 14:1-14 - Have a read before Sunday, and let's unpack what God is saying to us and what we are going to do about it. A reminder that we have both Central Gatherings this Sunday, 9 am and 10:30 am. As I had coffee with Christine and Fiona this week, they reminded me that they are on morning tea and it is still Easter! Hot cross buns and chocolate eggs will be available between gatherings. Come spend time together. Much love,  Comments are closed.
