A Word from Pastor Jonathan
St. Peter Reader
Our Bible study group is just wrapping up a month in the book of Philippians.
Philippians is a favourite book for many Christians — it glows with Paul’s warm love &
affection for a church that has supported him through thick & thin, and it is filled with
many “Hall of Fame” Bible verses:
“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion
at the day of Jesus Christ.” —1:6
“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” —1:21
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.” —4:4
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of
God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard
hearts and your minds In Christ Jesus.” —4:6-7
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” —4:13
One of the phrases that stuck out to me as we read the final
chapter is the promise, “The Lord is near” (4:5). It’s a phrase
that can mean either physically close by, or time-wise
near at hand. It’s comforting to know that while
we (still) cannot gather in proximity as a church,
even when we are apart,
Jesus is near to us in
both time and space.
And this helps with my frustration, anxiety, and general
grumpiness about the way things are.
God’s peace to you all in this time. Jesus is near at hand!
