Mighty

Ooops, this is last week's......I'm a bit slow! (Plus it's a tricky one!)

Mighty. He is mighty to save.....that's a lyric from a worship song, I can't even work out which one (and in five minutes I don't have time to keep singing it till I work it out!). But He is mighty, and He does save. Our God is an awesome God.

What else is mighty? Well, nothing can be as mighty as God. I don't know. It's not a word I use often. I use 'might' a lot. I might do this....I might do that....we might be able to go there. I guess it stops me confirming anything so that I'm not in trouble with the kids (my own or my school kids) if things don't go to plan.

But mighty. That's a whole different game. I guess I see the mightiness of God at Eastertime. I know we're not strictly there yet but we break up from school for the Easter holidays next friday and I'm thinking about it more. We're acting out the Easter story with my Y3 and 4s. It's humbling watching this gorgeous little kid (and our Jesus is a really lovely young man!) pretending to be crucified. Listening to him say, "It is finished" and hanging his head while in front of a painted cross is a poignant reminder of how humble and yet how mighty Jesus is.

He did that for you, you know. He did that for you, and he would have done it if you were the only person on earth ever to live. He is mighty.  Mighty to save. Do ask me about it if you want to know more.
