Dear Church family and friends,
Put yourself in the shoes of Jesus’ disciples: you’ve had years under his guidance, a personal relationship with a real, living being. Then he leaves. Not only that, but he knows that he will not be around and tells you so multiple times; a person that you have grown to love and whose presence is an integral part of your own life, no longer there. Naturally, your first question would be ‘what do we do?’. Thousands of years later, we know to ‘live by faith and not by sight’ – the disciples, on-other-hand, must deal with the transition from Jesus being physically by their side to his being with them spiritually. They are provided some instruction in John 16, verses 1 to 4, as Pastor Johannes explains in his sermon from Sunday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gOG832cIvY
This week in Church…
