What is black and white and hairy all over?

A caterpillar.

Caterpillars are amazing creatures and it is fascinating to watch them, unless of course you are trying to grow lettuce. The thing about caterpillars is that they will enter into a chrysalis phase in their life cycle and then emerge into something even more beautiful and amazing, a butterfly.

Isn’t nature wonderful and one of the most amazing of God’s creation is not a butterfly, but a human being.

We are pretty amazing as we are, but God wants something better for us too. He wants us to be His children and to live with Him forever in heaven. That can only be possible by believing in God and in His Son, Jesus Christ, if we do that then we become transformed into the children of God. This is what the Bible, God’s word tells us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son [Jesus] that whoever believes in Him [Jesus] will not perish but have everlasting life. {John 3:16}.

Why not come to church to find out more?

From the Pastor’s Desk

Take a look at the empty tomb.

At Easter we think about Jesus, the man on the cross, but do we think much of the empty tomb and the risen Saviour Jesus from the dead?

The empty tomb where the dead Jesus was placed is one of the proven facts of history.

On that Sunday when the female disciples came to anoint the body of Jesus, they found the tomb empty. People searched for the body of Jesus and after 50 days, Peter one of His disciples could stand up in front of a crowd of several thousands in Jerusalem and say that the tomb of Jesus was empty, because He is risen from the dead. In fact, Peter and more than 500 people could testify to having seen Him.

The fact, and it is a fact, that Jesus rose from the dead and still lives is the most important event to have taken place on earth.

What does the death and resurrection of Jesus tell us?

1] Jesus is as He said He was God’s son.

2] We have a body that dies but we have a soul that lives on to eternity.

3] Where our soul goes to eternity, depends on whether we have faith in Jesus, God’s son.

This Easter do not think only of a man dying on the cross, think also of an empty tomb and of the man who rose from the dead.

“He is not here: for He is risen, as He said, come see the place where the Lord lay”. [ Matthew 28:6].
