  • High price paid for our identity

    Today I was reminded again that we, the followers of Jesus, are neither optimists or pessimists but rather Jesus Christ is risen. Our condition our identity our well-being is not defined by how we feel about ourselves or by self-awareness but rather by our relationship with Jesus, who by grace through faith saved us. Nothing we could possibly do could earn that grace it comes as a gift – and so we get to live a gifted life as we acknowledge and live out our faith in His faithfulness.

    This week gone by has been just such a week. It began with the funeral of our friend and sister in Christ – Beth Strako who didn’t want a eulogy at her funeral. She didn’t want a eulogy to define her life – those who would attend would already know her story and what mattered to her. The week proceeded, it was busy with all sorts of things – moment by moment choices needed to be made on what mattered. Friday was the Gospel concert offered to us by the Johnstone River Singers – we had made a choice to let life, joy, song, and community define us and not fear, death, lose and isolation.
