St Paul's Anglican Church
Beaconsfield

near Fremantle, Western Australia

God of abiding Love,
our beginning and our end.
We ‘come’ with a thirst to share in the tree of life and in the holy city
In Christ is revealed a Divine unity
“I in them and you in me”
Together we seek to make know your love
as a light within ourselves, and ourselves as a gift to all.
Amen

There is a delightful paradox as we build (grow) toward the future so we become aware of the seeds that began the process of our becoming. We might marvel that within the acorn is the Oak tree, but do we ever marvel at the potential that we hold within ourselves?

We are, with each and every other, consecrated for a Divine life; and we each have a part to play in the unfolding of a divine tomorrow. We claim ourselves as ‘the Body of Christ’ and so we might also consider what scripture is waiting to be fulfilled in our hearing?

There will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever

Reflection from sermon ….

The change in the world, and in humanity when we discovered that the earth was not flat, but a sphere, was enormous. This Easter morning we are invited to roll away the stone, and to see something that is even more significant.

Will we give ourselves into the realisation of “A new creation”? Will we realise that the most important thing we can see on television is when the set is untuned? Will we find ourselves permeated by “the oldest light to shine through the universe”.
