FROM THE MINISTRY TEAM

As Easter marks the wonder of our risen Lord Jesus’ triumph over evil, offering forgiveness and mercy to us as Christians, we need to look at the modern world around us.

This is often called the age of doubt, possibly doubt has become the central condition of the human race in the twenty first century?

Yet there are two main ways by which we come to believe anything, firstly by our own vision or investigation, the second is by accepting the testimony of reliable witnesses.

Along with many, many millions of other Christians we have come to believe and have faith through the testimony of those who did see and touch.

The apostle Thomas, known almost affectionately as ‘Doubting Thomas’, is a good example of the proof many demand, but in the end Thomas not only believed but worshipped, saying ‘My Lord and My God’. Memorable words that I feel have always held great meaning as the ultimate confirmation of Jesus’ resurrection.

So, this Easter let us show our belief and faith in worshipping Jesus as our Lord and God.
