Vicar's Message for the Month - June 2017
Dearly Beloved,
Greetings to you all in the matchless and loving name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
We are in the beginning of hot summers. Even though sum-mer gives us a tired look, it is a happy time for the kids to be free and have fun. Throughout the summer months, families are preoccupied with various activities that are often unique to this season of the year. Family vacations, church camps, and other activ-ities provide unforgetable memories. Summer is the time for fellowships and building relationships. I pray that this summer activities be a blessing to all of us.
The Christian life is all about relationships. Relationships are the most valuable asset that we have, but at the same time, most difficult to maintain. Jesus says “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you”(Jn 13:34). Loving one an-other is a powerful tool through which the world know that we are Jesus's Disciples (Jn 13:35).
Christian love is a lifestyle in which we act on Christ’s behalf to extend God’s love to everyone around us. It includes reconciliation. Reconciliation that Christ speaks is shown by Him in the cross of Calvary.. Here love of God to the world (includes people stood against him) is pictured. Christ, who is our master, has shown a right path. So we as His disciple, need to follow and practice what He had taught us. Let us hold tightly the principles
I pray that we as a family shall spread the fragrance of love to the world. Thus be a witness that we are the disciples of Jesus.
Yours in Christ
