Epiphany

Well folks, Christmas season is over and today marks Epiphany (6th Jan). That's when the Christmas Tree is packed up in our household. The first Sunday after Epiphany (10th Jan) will focus on the beginning of Jesus' ministry at the point of his baptism. In Galatians 4:4,5 we are reminded that "when the right time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive his adoption." During Advent, I mentioned in a sermon that 'I hate religion' - it was based on the text where Jesus said that God doesn't want our offerings and sacrifices. So, how do we have less 'religion with its rules and regulations' and more real Christianity? How do we find our freedom from the LAW? How do we find the JOY to the world spoken of at the birth of Jesus? How do we get closer to what Jesus was on about when he said to his disciples: "I've told you all this so that you might have peace within you. In this world you are going to have trouble, but cheer up; I have overcome the world!" (John 16:33). Join with me on this blog to find out ... Rev'd
