Sunday Meeting 11th May 2025
Jesus life, death and resurrection deals with sin, the sin of all humanity, in all times and all places, the sin against God.
Revelation 7:17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
Jesus offering up of himself for us is a once and only sacrifice marking our universe as forgiven from the beginning by the Lamb who was slaughtered from the beginning, revealed in time through Jesus Christ.
As we and all others turn from death to life, our sins are removed from us as far as the east is from the west, all of us, for all time.
And yet our habit is to fail, to miss the mark, to fall short in our selves in our world. Each of us, though the light of Christ shines in everyone to guide us, is sullied as we walk off the narrow way of peace. The privilege we have is to know that by walking in the light, turning back to it, by living together in the light we are made clean. Together in the light of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus; through repentance and contrition; through loving and being loved we are washed clean.
Through God’s faithfulness in Jesus we are empowered and our presence in the world brings peace and healing. Jesus is the Word made flesh and through our commitment to live together in the light and to abide in truth, we experience life in all its fullness, freed from sin, bound in practical love. We do this in the context of a world under the power of the evil one and this love is difficult.
Together we are bound to life and reject death. In this life we know the unity of the Holy Spirit to guide and empower us.
You are very welcome to join us on a Sunday to share this experience.
