The Divine Teacher

Mrs Glo Rajendram one of the other ATL gave last Tuesday’s lecture at the PJ Class. Being a teacher herself, it was evident to see the passion in teaching God’s Word. She asked if anyone present was confronted by the question, “have you been saved?” She was recollecting the past where these were the sort of distinctions made of Christians. She put this in the context of Nicodemus coming to Jesus by night, taking that initiative to seek Jesus out for a personal time. He realized that there was something of “a spiritual transformation” that was needed in his time. Jesus saw that he man man must know the truth so that his spiritual eyes could be opened and thus inherit the Kingdom of God. Jesus helps Nicodemus’ understanding by drawing a comparison between the wind and the Holy Spirit. Has any man able to control the wind? In the same way no man will be able to control the Holy Spirit when it comes. Thus the challenge for us is to look outwards to God’s presence in the world. To look inwards to see what we need for our spiritual lives and to look upwards to what Jesus had done on the cross.

New Comers to PJ Class

We praise God that the last few weeks we are seeing new members joining the PJ Class. Friends have informed them that there is a great Bible Study on Tuesday nights in town. We praise God for this. This is an encouragement to the Teaching Leaders and also a challenge to bring the best of God’s word to his people in their lectures.

The last 2 week we have had our Assistant Teaching Leaders to give the lectures.

Esther Richards spoke on the theme “Jesus The Reformer” (John 2:12-25) She challenged the class with a statement” Faith is not a convenience for us” She went on to speak about Jesus’ zeal for His Father’s House that saw a display of physical force combined with a righteous anger and his spiritual intolerance. He was always the Son of the Father and therefore the Messiah who is to come. Thus his zeal was to restore the temple to its Godly purpose.
