Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, [2] fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV
SO, WHAT'S NEXT ???
We’ve just celebrated Easter and have looked at all the events of that very first Easter. However, the disciples at the time was living it out real time. They didn’t know what was going to happen next. They didn’t have a script saying what was ahead. Only Jesus knew how the week would unfold! But as we read the Gospels we see that as Jesus entered Jerusalem, John 12:16 NIV says "At first his disciples did not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did they realize that these things had been written about him and that these things had been done to him". And then something similar as the angels said to the women at the tomb in Luke 24:6-8 NIV they say "He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: [7] 'The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.'" It then says in v8 "Then they remembered his words". As the pieces fell into place they remembered Jesus words and it all began to make sense
Jesus death and resurrection was all part of the plan. He could have come off the cross
But as Hebrews 12:2 [NIV] says "…For the joy set before him he endured the cross…" That’s why he came! And the events of that first easter are to change our lives, not just for the easter weekend! but forever! That we may live as children of the living God, Knowing that we are loved! Loved so much that Jesus would lay down his life that we may live! That we may declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light. People of God, recipients of God’s love, grace & mercy. So let's not move on from what Christ has done for us, and just jump back into normality! But lets build on what Christ has done, To know him and life in his name all year round for the rest of our lives and all eternity.
THIS MONTH'S MISSION ORGANISATION
Every month we share the vision of one of the Mission Organisations that we support/pray for...
This Month it's BIBLE SOCIETY.
Read on and connect with them for more information!
BIBLE SOCIETY
We live in a world where too many people don’t engage with the Bible.
In some parts of the world, the Scriptures are difficult to access or are simply unavailable. In this country, the Bible is readily available but has lost its significance and its value is unrecognised by millions.
We’re working hard here at home and in key areas across the world to change this. We take the Bible and find ways to translate and distribute it, create digital formats, advocate for its place in society and help people relate to and make sense of it in their everyday lives.
All our efforts are driven by one conviction: we believe that when people engage with the Bible, lives can change – for good.
For over 200 years Bible Society has been working to bring the Bible to life; to help people around the world engage with it, relate to it, and make sense of it. for more details check out www.biblesociety.org.uk.
