Dear Friends,Last week I went to London to see an exhibition of paintings by the artists J.M.W Turner and John Constable, who were both born 250 years ago. My mother had a small print of one of Constable’s pictures, ‘The Hay Wain’, hanging on her wall at home for many years. However, the originals of some of Constable’s and Turner’s best-known paintings are massive. When you get up close you see a blur of individual brush strokes. To take in the whole picture you have to stand well back (not always easy in a crowded gallery!). But when you do, you begin to understand the subject matter, and to appreciate the picture’s beauty and the skill of the artist. As we begin Holy Week, we will be hearing again the different parts of the story of Jesus’ last week. On Palm Sunday at St George’s we get the chance to get close up to the action as Jesus is betrayed, arrested and crucified. There will be other opportunities during the week to dwell on the events of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. We will be drawn into the suffering of Jesus, the cruelty of his enemies, and the fickleness of the crowds. Yet these are all part of a much bigger story of God’s faithfulness before all time, his love for the world, and his desire that each of us should know him as Lord, now and for eternity. This Holy Week and Easter may we grasp more strongly the reality of these things.Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Rev Fran
