From the Pastors desk,
“Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:26,28
Congregation of Lowell Street UMC, I consider you all such a blessing and I say, “Thank You!” Thank you for being such a wonderful group of people to do life with. Because of you this church functions so beautifully and many are blessed with your gifts. Thank you to the prayer warriors, the Sunday school teachers, the outreach team, the meal organizers, the Sunday morning coffee and breakfast makers, the cleaners, the church up-keepers, the encouragers, the visitors, the phone callers, the media people, the door openers and lockers, the money counters, the safety team, the children workers, the organizers, the bible study leaders, the worship “choir” team, the helpers and so much more, yes, a BIG THANK YOU!!! Together we are being the hands and feet of Jesus both in and outside of the church. So amazing to have the privilege to serve the Lord through the serving of each other.
The One who came down from heaven to earth to show us the way could have come wielding His power and authority, but then the scripture could not have been fulfilled. Instead He exchanged His crown for the cross that we could have eternal life. He set aside His own rights for the right to be called children of God. Oh saints, I pray that we never forget, never hear it enough, all that Jesus the Christ has done for us.
As we prepare to walk to the cross with the lamb, and to share in the resurrection power of the Lion, let us meditate on all that He has done so that we can partake of the abundant life He has given to us! When we encounter trials and tribulation, let us remember the victory He has already purchased on Calvary. When we abound in His blessings, let us rejoice in that it is all because of Him.
Happy Easter / Resurrection Day to all of you!
