We are finishing the Easter season for the church when we looked at proof that Jesus not only rose after the crucifixion but is alive and active today. We pondered the testimonies of the people who saw him on that Easter Sunday. He did not just appear in the Temple to proclaim he conquered death. He personally encountered his followers to heal their fear, resolve their doubts, and remove their guilt. We looked at his claim that he was the Good Shepherd and saw how that is still true today. He also claimed to be the vine and we are the branches. We receive strength, life and so much more from him. This last week we waited in Jerusalem with the followers as they were instructed at Jesus’ Ascension. Tomorrow we will celebrate Pentecost and the experience of the Holy Spirit. This week we talked about waiting and the importance of community, of prayer, and of traditions. I found this worship song that sings about waiting based on Isaiah. Eric Liddell preached on it before he won the Olympics in the 400 meter race. It’s new to me and I hope you enjoy it.
