Well, here's one possible explanation The Gospel of John in chapter 20 verse 7 tells us that the napkin or the cloth over his face was not just left laying there like the grave clothes The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded and was placed separate from the grave clothes This could be explained by a Hebrew tradition of that day The folded napkin had to do with the master and servant and every Jewish boy knew this tradition When the servant set the dinner table for the master he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it The table was furnished perfectly and then the servant would wait just out of sight until the master had finished eating and the servant would not dare touch that table until the master was finished Now, if the master were done eating he would rise from the table wipe his fingers, his mouth and clean his beard and would toss the napkin onto the table The servant would then know to clear the table For in those days, the thrown aside napkin meant I'm done But, if the master got up from the table and folded his napkin and laid it beside his plate the servant would not dare touch the table Because, the folded napkin meant I'm coming back So, in this story from the Bible could it be another pointer to the fact that Jesus is coming back? Marvelous message we bring Glorious carol we sing Wonderful word of the King Jesus is coming again Coming again Coming again Maybe morning, maybe noon Maybe evening and maybe soon Coming again Coming again Oh, what a wonderful day it will be Jesus is coming again Standing before Him at last Trial and trouble all past Crowns at His feet we will cast Jesus is coming again Coming again Coming again Maybe morning, maybe noon Maybe evening and maybe soon Coming again Coming again Oh, what a wonderful day it will be Jesus is coming again Coming again Coming again Maybe morning, maybe noon Maybe evening and maybe soon Coming again Coming again Oh, what a wonderful day it will be Jesus is coming again Thank you to Dale Williams for that one Jesus is coming again And now it's time for our Just for Fun quiz and time for question three So, thank you Blaise Here comes the third sound What sound is this?

here's the first one again whatever was that well it was actually me ripping up some material I was tearing it I wonder if you got that I thought I'd do that just thinking about Easter again when the curtain in the temple was torn from top to bottom wasn't it on Good Friday now then how about the next sound what is this now we hear that sound quite a lot don't we I wonder if you got it it was rain

hours and it is designed to be a gentle natural form of white noise which you can play in your bedroom to help you have a good night's sleep well what do you know well we've had quite a lot of rain here recently haven't we so we know what that sound is I wonder if you know where rain is mentioned in the Bible you might like to look that up now the third sound what was this now I wonder if you had that sound in your house that was actually me in my kitchen frying some fish now why was I doing that well there's lots of food mentioned in the Bible and cooking of food of course after Jesus was resurrected he cooked some breakfast and fish for them on the beach didn't he so I don't know if it would have sounded quite like that but hey that was my cooking fish and we did enjoy eating it later didn't we Peter oh yes in this clip from a very favourite song of most people I'm sure I wonder if you will notice where it talks about a sound what is it I touch a leaf I see the sky then I know why I believe every time I hear a newborn baby cry I touch a leaf I see the sky then I know why I believe that was an old recording of I believe and of course it was the sound of a baby crying now I

newspaper hello my name is June Lo I'm a reader in kentrum parish and I've had the privilege of sharing the thought for the day with you before and it's lovely to be sharing this time with you again when you were growing up did you ever hear the refrain you look just like your mother or you are the image of your father and did you have to live through the comparisons such as he's got his father's chin, nose, ears or she's got her mother's eyes, nose, mouth making you feel a bit like a laboratory specimen I used to dread meeting any of my parents friends when we were out together and I can still remember squirming with embarrassment when one friend of my mother's scrutinised me from top to toe and asked with mock dismay at my height to age ratio is she going to be a police woman well enough said what I didn't understand then was that parents have a natural pride in their children and are always pleased to receive compliments about them as a reflection of themselves it's irresistible parents just want to know that they have passed on their very best genes to their children so let's just admit it haven't we all done the same with our children the amazing news is that whether we reflect our earthly parents best points or not we are made in the image of God let's just rest with that thought for a minute well why we might ask because God delights in us and in our reflection of him Zephaniah chapter 3 verse 17 puts it like this the Lord your God is in your midst a warrior who gives victory he will rejoice over you with gladness he will renew you in his love he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival sitting in the glow of salvation post Easter having gone through the trials of Good Friday with collective grief we have the blessed assurance that everything that was necessary for our redemption was accomplished through Jesus' work on our behalf there is nothing that needs to be added to his work he has made himself available to us in Jesus the one who knows the way from death to life from darkness to light Jesus says I am the way, the truth and the life no one comes to the Father except through me God created us and continually sustains us everything that exists comes from him in him all things hold together Colossians 1 17 God did not create the world and then walk away telling us to just get on with it that he'd done the hard bit now it was up to us worship and lordship over creation are essential for every moment of every day if he took his hands off us for a minute we would fall apart he recreates every day the seasons come and go through his created sun, moon and the words of Graham Kendrick's song the stars that his hands flung into space to cruel nails surrendered he is the one who continues to grant life to our bodies and renews our hearts and souls with his creative redemptive love he will never leave us every day is a gift from God made with such attention to detail that we can only marvel at the world around us and the people in it who are also reflecting God's image so we shouldn't be concerned about similar eyes noses and mouths which may bolster our sense of belonging to an earthly family but it's our likeness to God that is more important and this often gets overlooked can you imagine looking like the creator of the world the creator of each one of us it's hard to explain even harder to understand but it can best be revealed by how we live how we show our love and concern for others who also look like God if we look for him we will find him in the faces of babies and children in the faces of youthful vitality in the faces of the middle years in the faces of the elderly and in the faces of those in the extreme winter of their years where every dear face is graced with the story of life everyone looks like God Saint Paul tells us that Jesus is sufficient to give strength for the trials to guide us to provide for us and to overcome our confusion when the world threatens to distort the image of our father God in all of us so we must take heart don't you know we're the image of our father until next time stay well and go safely every blessing and
