Zechariah 9.9-17; Luke 19.28-48; A sermon for Palm Sunday, April 17, 2011, In the University Chapel of St Salvator, St Andrews By the Rt Revd Prof Dr N T Wright, St Mary's College
The crowd went wild as they got nearer. This was the moment they'd been waiting for. All the old songs came flooding back, and they were singing, chanting, cheering and laughing. At last their dreams were going to come true.
Many children of God are so deeply exercised on the matter of guidance that it may be helpful to give a few suggestions as to knowing the way in which our Father would have us walk, and the work He would have us do. The importance of the subject cannot be exaggerated; so much of our power and peace consists in knowing where God would have us be, and in being just there.
Love flows from God to man without effort
As a bird glides through the air
Without moving its wings --
Thus they go whithersoever they will
United in body and soul
Yet in their form separate --
As the Godhead strikes the note
Humanity sings,
The Holy Spirit is the harpist
And all the strings must sound
Which are strung in love.
from Of the Godhead
Mechthild of Magdeburg (1200-1297)
Acts 2.1-21; John 7.37-39; a sermon at the Eucharist on the Feast of Pentecost, 11 May 2008, by the Bishop of Durham, Dr N. T. Wright
'There was not yet Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.' Those words, flattened out somewhat in most translations, conclude the powerful little gospel reading we have just heard. It's very stark and even perhaps shocking.
Below is an excerpt from the Conclusion of the July 21, 1974 Plenary Session of the International Congress on World Evangelization, with comments by Billy Graham and Corrie Ten Boom. A powerful, moving testimony to Christ's transformative powers, and the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives.Read more: Utterly Faithful: Christ's Witness in Corrie Ten Boom
