TRANSCRIPT
From the Pastor:
Written on Monday, April 6th
….
What a great week, starting with Palm Sunday and ending with
Easter Sunday. Lots of activities throughout the church which made me
proud to be your pastor. The presentation of the Living Last Supper was
amazing. This was the first time I’ve ever seen this live. My hat goes off
to all that took part, from the actors and singers to all the people behind
the scene.
During the play, each apostle questioned whether they would be
the one that would betray Jesus. They all knew that they were susceptible
to this by being merely human. They all knew they could be the one to
fail. And as the story goes… this got me thinking….
A few years ago, I was talking to someone about Celebrate
Recovery. This is a Christian based ministry where addicts of any kind,
from eating to drugs, can go and be supported to stay off the addiction.
This person told me that the first step to recovery though is recognition.
Until you can recognize that you are an addict, you cannot recover.
This is the same with the apostles at the last supper. I feel that maybe
Jesus did it this way so each and every apostle will first recognize that
they are sinners too. Just like you and me. We need to recognize that we
are sinners daily. We need Jesus, but we could never be any better than the
next person because we fail just as much. Sure it may be different, but we
still sin.
My prayer is we recognize daily our sins. We ask for forgiveness
for those sins, so we too can begin recovery. And don’t forget…. JESUS
IS ALIVE!!!
Love You All In Christ, Bro. Nick _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
