Scripture & Reflection: Sunday 24th April and for the Week ahead:

Scripture:

“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega’, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (Revelation 4.8)

Reflection:

We live in a world where change is the rule. Time does not stand still, any more than the earth beneath our feet or the air we breathe. What can it mean to look to God for stability?

The Biblical picture begins with the Spirit, the breath of God bringing life. The story of Easter is about life in the Spirit surviving chaos and evil. At the end of the Bible St John’s vision is of the Almighty as the great constant. He IS. He is, was and will be, from A to Z. Wherever we may find ourselves in the volumes of the Encyclopedia, He is Spirit, breathing life, experienced in the unchanging ideals of love – caring about and for one another, about our world, about ourselves.
