The Risen Shepherd
Today is the day everything changed. Not just because the tomb was empty. Not just because Jesus rose from the dead. But because the Risen Shepherd still comes, still speaks, and still knows His sheep—and He knows us by name.
The Serving Saviour
On the night He was betrayed, you’d expect Jesus to prepare for battle. But instead—He stood up from the table, took off His outer robe… and picked up a towel.
The Obedient King
The Obedient King has come—riding humbly, praised loudly, walking the road no one else could walk. He is worthy of every voice, every heart, every life.
Today, our Confirmands join the cry: “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” But this call isn’t just for them—it’s for us all.
The Way of Sacrifice
Mary’s devotion points us to Jesus’ greater sacrifice. Love gives, pride avoids, and Christ lays everything down.
In this final week of Lent and then as we begin Holy Week, we are called to walk the Way of the Cross: trusting in God’s provision for us, suffering with hope, repenting in faith, receiving and sharing the forgiveness He offers, and sacrificing our pride for the one who gave His life for us.
The Way of Forgiveness
Today, we see that The Way of the Cross is also The Way of Forgiveness—not only receiving God’s mercy but learning to extend it to others. The parable of the prodigal son teaches us about forgiveness from three perspectives: the one who needs it, the one who struggles to give it, and the Father who offers it freely.
The Way of Repentance
Jesus calls us to repent not to make us feel guilty or ashamed, but to free us from our guilt and shame. He calls us to repent so we can be free and have new life. So today, let’s hear His call, trust in His grace, and walk the Way of Repentance.
The Way of Suffering
Last week, we began our journey through The Way of the Cross by looking at The Way of Trust—Jesus’ trust in the Father’s Word, plan, and protection, even in the wilderness of temptation.
Today, we see Jesus continuing on that path, walking toward suffering with full knowledge of what awaits Him in Jerusalem.
The Christian life is not one of avoiding suffering but following Christ through it. Today, we learn what it means to walk The Way of Suffering.
The Way of Trust
This Lent, we will be walking the Way of the Cross. We will follow Jesus’ journey to the cross and reflect on what it really means to follow Him, focussing on a different aspect of that Way of the Cross each of the five Sundays during Lent. We begin the journey with Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness in Luke 4. Through being tempted as we are, yet without sin, Jesus shows us The Way of Trust.
Bold, but not boastful
In today’s reading from 2 Corinthians, we hear how our hope in Jesus gives us boldness by removing the veil between us and God, by restoring our confidence, not in ourselves but in Him, and by inspiring us to reflect Christ ourselves.
When our hope is in Christ, we can live and speak boldly, no matter the circumstances.
Rejoice, release, rest
Everything we have—our food, our work, our families, our community, and even our faith—are gifts from God. He is the one who provides, sustains, and nourishes us, both physically and spiritually. Yet true thanksgiving is more than a day of celebration; it is a way of life. Paul calls us to rejoice always, to release anxiety through prayer, and to rest in God’s peace.
