The Real Jesus

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

Who was Jesus, do you know?
Though he lived so long ago
he is known world-wide, revered
– are his teachings clearly heard?

His disciples fled and hid    
when their Lord was crucified;
later see them boldly spread
news of what he did and said.

He had met them, risen, alive,
showed them how he could forgive    
and he’d help them tell the news –
though some hate, God’s grace refuse.

Now they could bear persecution,
no more weakened by confusion,
for the truth of resurrection
meant sure hope, and strength in mission..
Tune: 77 77

Yes Rhiannon the disciples changed completely with Jesus's resurrection and now they were apostles carrying the gospel persecuted and fearless and to the ends of the earth. Jesus said they who believe without having seen are even more blessed.

Thanks for your message & Nolan

Thanks, Nolan. Many still bear persecution for sharing the good news. Rhiannon

A painful fact and the persecution will keep on until the end, Judgement day or whatever you want to call it, and it will probably get worse. Though the church in history is always strongest in times of persecution.

Have a good week & Nolan
