The key message from today's sermon is the profound truth from Scripture: Matthew 5:8 - "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." This Beatitude from Jesus presents us with the promise and the challenge that purity allows us to behold God himself.
It’s easy to lose heart. There are the difficulties of life in the body, the feeling that what you do may not have any lasting significance or value, the harsh judgments other people may make about you, the disappointments that come in the plan you had for your life, the frustrations you may have with what you are in the flesh, and the sheer weight of evil in this lost and rebellious world.
A man of crime. A ruthless empire. A fellow prisoner. A promise of Paradise.
Discover the story of the thief on the cross, and his life-changing encounter with Jesus, in this brand new full colour graphic novel version of Colin S Smith’s Heaven, How I Got Here: The Story of the Thief on the Cross.
