Both John and Pastor Moses have been reflecting on the Easter weekend; but not on the same thing, or so it seems.
Easter
We all love Easter time. It’s a time to remember the wonderful person of Jesus, our savior. We can remember his life, death, resurrection and the new creation life he has now given to all of us who are in him…. Oh yes, and lots of people will also attend Pastor Moses‘ church service as well
Exciting times!
The Entertainer
Pastor Moses just doesn’t get John; doesn’t John realise that Pastor Moses is the funniest, most entertaining preacher in the city? Luckly for him, the majority of his congregation are happy to sit down and enjoy his entertainment. Boy, he would really be in trouble if everyone wanted something more than a few laughs on a Sunday.
Lucky God Is Your Father
John is happy he knows who his true Father is, and that his fatherly advice is to rest in the truth that his name has been written in the book of life. John knows he already someone great. He is a child of God.
John simply believes that God’s children are already famous in heaven, they don’t have to work to make a name for themselves in the world.
The Master
For some strange reason, Eric is actually proud to be called a ‘law man’. It’s as if he thinks that makes him someone who is obedient to God, but as John pointed out to him, the bible says quite the opposite. It seems Eric also has some issues as to who his true master is.
For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace. Romans 6:14
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 1 Corinthians 15:56
Home
John sometimes wonders if Pastor Moses even hears what he is saying? It seems that no matter what John talks to him about, Pastor Moses automatically interprets it in a way that puts the focus back on church attendance and the supreme importance of the church service.
John just wants to enjoy the glorious reality of God’s grace without his pastor instantly switching the topic onto God’s obligations.
