Peace - Rev Jan Brodie
from St Barnabas, Fendalton Hosted by St Barnabas Anglican Church
The message this Sunday is one of Peace. Jesus appearing to his anxious disciples after his death and resurrection and offering them peace. Once they realised it was Jesus, by seeing him and his scars, he then breathed the Holy Spirit upon them. How hopeful for us all to hear and take in his peace at such times as these. The scripture passage goes on to tell us of the disciple Thomas being absent, and so wanting to see Jesus for himself. Here we get the saying 'doubting Thomas'. And so Jesus did come to him to personally show him his scars and resurrection! Then on seeing he was able to say 'My Lord, My God'. This is for us to believe and hold onto our faith. May it continue to burn with fire within us so we too can stay strong - being able to know his love and peace for us. Also realising that being in community encourages and supports us in our faith and with each other. Jesus /Christ is Risen! Alleluia! He is risen indeed.
