Christians are called not to dominate the world, or exercise power over others, Christians are called to serve the world in Jesus’ name, to bring life to others by telling and living Jesus’ story in our lives.
As the world appears to be more divided, our job as Christians, as children of the God of life, is to show the world that there is another way.

When we look to the cross, we know that when we are rejected, he has borne that rejection, we know that when we've failed, he has borne that failure, we know that when we've sinned, Jesus has borne that sin. We know that when we die, he has borne our death.We know this because his story and our story has been woven together in a strange tapestry of stories that come together in this story, the suffering and death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
