Saturday 12th April
John 12.36b–end
Our mission
 “Jesus did not come to judge the world, but to save the world”. How wonderful that is. This is the heart of the message of Easter; Jesus, dying on the cross for you, for me. This is a message that everyone loves to hear.


But the following verse reminds us that this is inseparable from the Father’s judgement: “There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words”. This too is part of the Easter message. Jesus died on the cross to save us. Yes. To save us from the coming judgement. Yes. But for those who reject Christ and do not accept his words, then this judgement will still “condemn them at the last day”. 



It is right that at Easter we celebrate joyously the unmerited gift of Jesus as Saviour. He is risen, hallelujah! But let us also do all we can to bring people to Jesus, come into the world as a light, that believing in Him they would not stay in darkness.
