Eyes On Jesus

Gavin Rodgers | Sun, 1st May 2022

As we come to two of the most well-known and widely spoken about miracles in the Gospels we see a common problem with the disciples. On both occasions, they fix their eyes on the problem in front of them rather than on Jesus.

 

This is a common theme for us as Christians; it is all too easy to look at our situations and become burdened with them rather than looking to Jesus in faith.

When a wealthy young man comes to Jesus with a question he doesn't get the answer he was perhaps hoping for. Paul talks from this passage about the kingdom, the question, wealth and eternity.

In this passage Jesus talks about some big things; marriage, singleness and divorce. We also need to hear his loud and over-arching message that he loves us, forgives us, restores us, weeps with us, prays for us and never lets go.

Jesus is teaching about what this new community of his followers will look like. It’s less about status and more about service!

The Transfiguration
Seeing Jesus
Matthew 17: 1-13
29th May 2022

The transfiguration seems to be one of those stories which is never really spoken about. Jesus takes a few of his disciples up a mountain and is transformed before their eyes. This isn't just an interesting story but is a real lesson in our response to seeing the glory of Jesus. When we recognise him as he really is, we have a response to make. Will we be like the disciples and use this as a foundation to build our lives on?
