 Forgive

For some reason I have recently become a little bit addicted to watching videos of people cleaning rugs.😂😁😂

As you watch this perhaps you can ask God to speak to you about sin and forgiveness.  How sin gets into every fibre and perhaps being washed by the blood of the lamb is a more exacting and thorough process than we sometimes imagine.

Enjoy!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZtGTZpFYU4&t=164s    and if you get any profound revelations or thoughts while watching this 6 minute video please share with us all.

 Dying Jesus is on the cross next to two criminals.  One ended up in Paradise with Jesus, the other didnt. Why? Because one recognised who Jesus was and the other didnt. Jesus was well known in His day, but there were no photographs, no newspapers, only word of mouth to spread the news about Him and the chances that either of the criminals crucified with Jesus would actually have met Him before are slim.  They might possibly have been in a crowd which heard Him teaching. But probably the only thing they knew about Him were the stories that were doing the rounds in Jerusalem. And bear in mind, not all those stories were true.  Jesus had been beaten to a pulp before being nailed to the cross.  He was barely recognisable as a man. The only thing to let people know who He was was a sign nailed above His head.  We can assume that three people who are strangers to each other are crucified on the hill that day. The thieves on their crosses had also been beaten to ...

  A irports are fascinating places. Yesterday I watched as the plane I was due to fly in landed, discharged its passengers and prepared for take off. There are more people than you might think involved in this process. Two guys position the steps. Someone fixes the fuel pipe into its slot. Two guys unload and load luggage. Two guys position chocks under the wheels. Someone puts a rope round the wings to stop us walking under them. And then there's one special someone whose job it is to wave little red torches in the air so the pilot knows exactly when and where to stop As I was watching the well oiled Easyjet machine in action in the pouring rain, it reminded me of all the unseen people in church, so necessary for the smooth running of the whole thing. Who orders the loo rolls, tidies the errant stationary cupboard, orders the tea bags for Mums and Tots?   Who does the accounts, counts the offering, sorts the website, answers the phone?  There are hundreds of jobs th...

  Hallowed. Small child at school asked his R E teacher who Harold was in the Bible.  Teacher scratched his head and said he didn't think there was a person called Harold in the Bible.  Small child said '  But Jesus said ' Harold be thy name' !   😁  ( there is no groan emoji.  I checked) I can think of very few other places in the English language where we use the word ' hallowed'.   Perhaps we tread the hallowed halls of some venerable old building. And Lords cricket ground is often referred to as hallowed. But apart from that it is a word which has pretty much fallen out of use everywhere except in the Lord's prayer.   I think its a great word.  It conveys more than just being holy.  To me it conjures up images of veneration and awe.  Perhaps of people bowing down.  Because to be hallowed means to be set apart as holy, to be pure, to be consecrated to God - to be ' rendered inviolable' .   Have ...
