Languages astounded the crowds at Pentecost as each heard the message expounded in their own language. The task of the Christian is to speak the truth so the world can hear and understand.

Jesus, in his high priestly prayer, prayed “That they (disciples) may be one. As you, Father are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.” Following is an explanation of how Christian community can be a fulfillment of Christ’s prayer.

All change begins with a question! Our answer determines whether or not change occurs. Jesus asks a sick man, “Do you want to be well?” I think God is constantly revealing His heart’s desires for us as He urges us to ask the ? – WHO DO I WANT?

Recognizing the voice of Jesus and following it is discerning the truth among all that is being said.

Who am I? & Why am I? & What am I to do? Are all questions we need to ask and answer on our spiritual journeys. Jesus asked Peter three times, “Do you love me?” I believe he asked so that Peter could answer these questions.

The week after Easter! Will we continue to believe in and proclaim the resurrection and remember that “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” Will we go to church and worship and go from there as the body of Christ and witnesses to the Truth?

The Lord is risen! He is risen indeed! Happy Easter and peace to you. Does belief in the resurrection make a difference in your life?

The Twisted Palms. As we pray for peace, we remember the Prince of Peace riding into Jerusalem and how we turned on him when he demanded sacrifice instead or rebellion.

Isaiah 43, So one of my favorite chapters in the Bible because it begins with my favorite phrase: “Do not fear!” and goes on to call us precious and beloved to God and promises to blot out our sins and free us from whatever holds us captive. it offers hope to the hopeless, love to the loveless and a way through any trouble.
