Trinity Sunday: To understand God as Trinity is the way to understand the relationship that exists between a Father God who creates, a Son who saves, and a Spirit who sustains. It is the relationship of a listening God: a God who cares about what we are saying, and who wants to speak to us and hear us. He is the exact opposite to a flat-line corporation. Read more |
| 15th May | Fr Chris | John 10:1-10 |
The Good Shepherd: In St. John's Gospel, the Good Shepherd exercises a pastoral role more than an evangelistic one. He is the means by which ministers reach their people, and people respond to his call. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me." John 14.6 The whole people of God recognise that in the Good Shepherd is to be found salvation life through the Easter message of God's love. Read more |
| 8th May | Fr Chris | Luke 24:13-35 |
Recognising Jesus: It’s funny how someone who knows you very well can walk past you in the street and fail to see you. It happens to me when school children walk past me when I’m not in uniform. There’s this look of puzzlement and half-recognition which chases across their faces. The reason is very simple. We see who we expect to see. To them, I can’t be Fr. Chris if I’m not dressed like him. If I’m wearing something else, then it’s not me and they don’t see me! Read more |
| 24th April | Fr Chris | John 20:1-18 |
Easter Day: It took a while. It took a while for faith to catch up with belief. It is not like Lazarus, this. Lazarus came out of the tomb with the grave cloths in place. But here in verse 9 of the gospel, John enters the tomb, sees the burial cloths lying as they would have been in the case of a resurrected body. The gospel records that Peter made no response to what he saw, whereas John ‘saw and believed.’ The gospel goes on to say that, ‘as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.’ So John believes that Jesus has risen, but like Peter, does not yet understand the implications in scripture of that belief.
