Genesis 18:20-32. Colossians 2:12-16. Matthew 11:1-13

The weight of sin is great: it is both individually and cumulatively felt and suffered by all who seek the peace of the Most High and life in Him and love which has no ending. Serious and deadly it is for those who turn from the enlightenment offered them and continue faithlessly and without response to the word and love of the Most High.

‘Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, uttered or unexpressed, the motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast’. ‘When you search for Me you will find Me, if you seek Me with all your heart. (Jeremiah 29:13,Matthew 7:7)

The Son of Man has borne the weight and deadly power of sin, and through His life and death and risen life offers life and light and love to all who turn and return to the hope of their high calling. Each and very one of the Father’s beloved sons and daughters is called to ask and search and knock, ‘for the one who searches will find, the one who knocks will always have the door opened to him’. (Matthew 11:1-13)
