Hebrews 12:22-24 

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.   



Ephesians2:6

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

Colossians 3:1-7 

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.



I dont think these scriptures require much comment. Just alot of pondering and thanksgiving.

The women wanting to do something practical for the body of Jesus but not being allowed to even pack a bag of linen and spices because it was the Sabbath.   Nobody will have slept on the Friday night. They will have sat together trying to comfort each other, recalling the horror of His death and wondering wh...

 This week our church is running an Easter scheme for 60 local kids. Over three days they will spend time playing games, dancing, making things, trying to win points for their team, eating snacks and hearing the good news that God has a rescue plan.  https://www.facebook.com/100012341134938/videos/pcb.1811433892611298/870196761540845 Yesterday our wonderful youth worker Phoebe was explaining to the kids that we and our world need to be rescued and that Jesus is our rescuer.  Despite the fact that she was explaining the gospel in very simple terms to young children, she said something that really struck 57 year old me in a new way.  Explaining Adam and Eve's fall she said ' they didnt only break the rules, but actually they broke God's heart' I realised that more often than not I think about sin as being a breaking of rules, transgression of laws, wrongdoing rather than heart-breaking.  When I hear the word 'sin', I think about myself doing something which deserv...
