Thought for the Week - 31st March 2024
Dear Friends, Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia! And so we celebrate once again the mystery that is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. We have read the Holy Week story and walked with Jesus the road marked with suffering and pain, but now there is the new dawn, the new beginning, new life. The apostle Paul, writing to the believers in Corinth says, ‘If anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!’ (2 Corinthians 5:17). What does it mean to be ‘in Christ’? To be ‘in Christ’ means to have committed your life to following Jesus and obeying his will for your life. To be ‘in Christ’ means to know and acknowledge God’s love for you and to seek to please God in your life. To be ‘in Christ’ means to know that you are forgiven because of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. To be ‘in Christ’ means to know God’s mercy, grace and provision for your life, and to offer your life to God in praise
