5TH Sunday of Easter Sunday 29th April 2018 I hope you all had a lovely Easter, and now just stop and think what we celebrated, the message of Easter, New Life for All . Now we are all so close to God because of what Jesus did for us. He suffered and died for love of us. He didn’t just say I love you, He showed us what love is, a giving of oneself. Today we hear that we are all Branches drawing life from Jesus, The Vine. Now everything is possible, we are so close to Him, we are God’s children. During these weeks of Easter, we live again with the Disciples, how the Risen Lord is so near to them, and how He shares his Holy Spirit with them to help them go out and represent Him. He wants us all to go out and live for Him, bring His love to a world that’s not listening to God. A world often looking and searching in the wrong places for everything. So let Him in, give Jesus and His message a chance and show that loving message to everyone by kindness and greater forgiveness. “An empty tomb proves Christianity. An empty Church denies it. “.
