MU Thought for the Week
Sunday 21st April 2024 Eternal Life ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life’. (John 3:16) Facing death is not easy. Left to ourselves we do not know whether this is the end of everything, or whether there is something more beyond. Many people just prefer to think that like the animals we die and are no more. But if we listen to the voice of God himself in his word, he tells us that we all survive death. As we know, we deserve nothing but condemnation in the next life. But God’s love is so great that when we trust Jesus, we may be sure we have the joys of life in his presence for evermore. Why are we sure? Because in his resurrection, Jesus defeats death. Question for thought: Am I trusting Jesus with my eternal future? Almighty God, we give you thanks for the many members in Tanzania and particularly in the Diocese of Victoria Nyanza and for the opportunities they have to share Christ’s teaching on marriage and family life. May they trust in you as they cope with unemployment and poverty. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
