Verse of the Month

"They came to Him (Jesus) bringing a paralytic man ... But not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof and let him down , on his stretcher, into the middle of the crowd, in front of Jesus." 

Mark 2;3 & Luke 5;19

 

Focus
The events of Easter are central to the Christian Faith, but the whole story is much bigger! 

                 Condescension Marvellous
The Lord of glory took our frame.
He stooped and to the world He came
That fallen men in sin and shame
Might ransomed be.
The Lord of Heaven became a man,
To carry out His Father’s plan
Devised to reach poor sinful man
And set him free.
The Lord of Life went into death,
‘To bear our sins’, the scripture saith.
A sinless Sufferer on earth
‘He died for me.’
The Lord of Life, an empty tomb,
Ascended high, a filled Throne,
Lift up your heads, behold Him come,
Triumphantly.
 
(By the late James Neilly)
