Can we know God?
Most people believe there is a God. A “something” bigger than
ourselves, outside of time and very powerful. Most of us find it
impossible to believe that this beautiful intricate universe simply
developed without any direction. The universe certainly gives the
impression of being thought about. In everything we look at there is
design, showing clearly that a brilliant mind has been behind the
making of the world. We all know deep down there must be a power
behind the universe - A God.
It is not idle curiosity then that begins to ask, “What is God like?”
But we realise that such a God must be in control of our lives both
now, and after our death. It is vital to know more about God.
This is not as impossible as it may first appear, as there was a man who
claimed to know God as an equal. He claimed that if we believe in him
we would receive eternal life. He claimed to be able to forgive us,
and lead us through life and eventually to heaven. He is of course
Jesus Christ.
Madmen and liars have claimed such things before, but Jesus is different.
One of his most astonishing claims was that he would come back from
the dead. The evidence for his resurrection is so compelling that
millions throughout the ages have been convinced of its fact and are
still being convinced today.
We believe that Jesus is the answer to our deepest needs. That is why we invite you to find out more about him. If you are near enough to us you are welcome to any of our meetings, or get in touch for any further information. Better still, Jesus himself gives you his personal invitation in Matthew’s gospel;
“Come
to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and
my burden is light.”
