As lent approaches we as Christians begin to really think about this! However this video shows that its not the story that counts. Its the fact that Jesus overcame death, defeated it! Rose again and is still ALIVE! amen and am I glad about that!
Our churches too should be alive, if we are full of The Holy Spirit! We should be the church of Act 2. Community lived out, united by God, whatever colour, cred or denomination.
This video also links in with what The Salvation Army are doing at this time: Self denial. Almost like lent yet the money we would usual spend on what we give up we donate to other countries etc...
As a Church, one Church (Jesus is coming to marry a Bride, not a harem) we should be seeking only to be Acts 2. That is how the Bible portrays Church to be, 'should be'. Interdependent on the family God has provided for us. Not arguing whether we should always say the Lords prayer or whether we celebrate the love feast (communion) etc... We should be united in Jesus name. He did more than die for us!!
'All believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord's supper), and to prayer.
A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had.
They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need.
They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity- all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all people.
And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.' Acts 2:42-47
And we sometimes wonder why are Church is in decline!
