THEY HAD=AND WE HAVE=EACH OTHER

















THEY HAD=AND=
WE HAVE EACH OTHER


The sequence of the events=
For the apostles=
MUST have been mind-boggling


The crucifixion=death and
RESURRECTION of Jesus=must have
Beyond imagination-
For Mary Magdalene-
And the other apostles


THEN he walked the mountains-
The terrain and the hills with them
For 40 days


What I FIND HEARTENING
Is that-
THEY HAD EACH OTHER


TOGETHER=in the upper room
-As we have each other=
OUR family and our friends


In the hallways and rooms
Of our lives


“Then they RETURNED
To Jerusalem


From the mount
Called Olivet.........


When they
Entered the city
THEY went to the UPPER ROOM
Where they were staying
…......


ALL these devoted themselves
With one accord
To PRAYER.........” Acts 12:14


THEY HAD=and=
WE HAVE EACH OTHER


TOGETHER=unified and LOVING=
Having each other
IS what makes life work
In this world


“How GOOD and pleasant
It is


When God's people
LIVE TOGETHER in unity” Psalm 133:1


“I-in them-
And you in me-


So that they may be
BROUGHT to complete unity


THEN the world know
That you sent me
And have loved them


EVEN as you have loved me” John 17:23


“.........UNTIL we all
Reach UNITY in the faith
And in the knowledge
Of the SON OF GOD


And become mature
ATTAINING to the whole measure
Of the FULLNESS of Christ” Ephesians 4:13


To be TOGETHER=ALL OF US=
Under the LOVE of God=
And ONE FAITH


They had each other=
WE have EACH OTHER TOO


They were=the apostles were
PRAYING together=
In the vast unknown
Of their lives
After Jesus died


WE have each other
As we MOVE FORWARD
With out lives


The vast UNKNOWN
Of our lives


The apostles were
SHOCKED some 2000 years ago
As they went through
The UNKNOWN


We-ALL-go through
Major transitions and reversals
In out lives


WHEN we go though transitions
LORD=Help us=to know=
You are always with us
In our INNER ROOM


“BUT when you PRAY
Go into your room


CLOSE the door
And pray to your Father
Who is unseen


Then your Father
Who SEES what is done
In SECRET-will reward you” Matthew 6:6


Dear Lord=THEY HAD EACH OTHER=
And you=all those years ago


As we do today=


WE HAVE EACH OTHER=
And YOU


In Jesus' name
