Thought for parish pewslip - Sunday 20th April 2008 - Easter 4 - Year A
Readings: Acts 7:55-60 1 Peter 2:2-10 John 14:1-14
[Our next Fan the Flame event is “Resurrection and Healing” on Thursday (24th April) in St Alphege at 1.30pm, repeated at 8pm. Do come and join with us as we reflect on the new life that comes from Christ, and how it can renew and rejuvenate us as individuals and as a parish.]
Our scripture readings today emphasise that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. In Acts, we hear how Stephen sees the heavens opened and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. As he dies he commends his spirit to Jesus. In 1 Peter we are told to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. In our gospel reading Jesus presents himself as the way the truth and the life, whereby we can attain a place in the Father’s house.
