Jesus Being Pastoral
•
John Hebenton
Easter is a time to have our minds blown by and for our imaginations to run wild with the possibilities of what the reign of God might look like.
- What does that mean for us as we commemorate ANZAC Day and offer a place for our city to commemorate the Battle of Pukehinahina Gate Pa.
- What does mean for us facing very uncertain future as a parish?
John uses the story from Acts about Phillip and the Ethiopian to explore what that might involve
In face of that Jesus offers very pastoral words in John 15. John explores what they are about, and then asks - How do we experience these words in our context today?
