4-1-2007 - "Why Did Jesus Die?"

Date: 4-1-2007

The subject for today's meeting was Jesus' crucifixion. This is the next session in the Alpha series, but it was particularly appropriate this week as this coming Friday is Good Friday. The meeting went well, I am thankful the disturbance of the first meeting has not been repeated. The group seems to be consistently made up largely of our Hispanic friends, with a few others who drop in and out sporadically. Today there were once again around 15 listeners. The subject was moving, as it spoke of someone who loved each of us so much that he gave his life for us. It impacted those listening, and you could see that the message was hitting home. One lady said she wanted to accept Jesus into her life, so we prayed with her for the forgiveness of her sins, and encouraged her to maintain the purity of this fresh start she had been given. It was very hard for this lady however, and I pray that God will keep her safe. It seems that even though speaking through an interpreter is difficult, the Holy Spirit is not limited by this!
