Some of Us

All across the world, in many true churches, the story of the death, burial and resurrection will once again be held high as the core of the gospel, the intentions and plan of God for mankind, and the pouring forth of this grace abundantly. But what of our reaction, our response. It says in (Matthew) that when the disciples saw the resurrected Christ they worshipped him, but some doubted; so it is today. Some walk closely, some at a distance. Some love deeply, some have grown cold. Some cannot live without him, others have turned away having loved this present world. The sermon should either CONFIRM or CONVICT US; but either way, may God's spirit rest upon it in power drawing us ever closer to the one who gave his life for us.
