“Last night when we were saying prayers, my daddy said everyone

has done wrong things except Jesus. I said I don’t think you

have done bad things because you are the Prime Minister. Am I right or is my daddy?”

“However good we try to be, we

can never be as kind, gentle and

wise as Jesus. There will be times

when we do or say something we

wish we hadn’t done and we shall

be sorry and try not to do it again

... our lives can’t be as good as

the life of Jesus.”

Funeral Service of Baroness Thatcher

with formidable energy and

‘Fire in our hearts’

‘New beginnings for the people of God’

… some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning but didn't find his body.

They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as

the women had said, but him they did not see.“

Luke 24:22-24

The walk to Emmaus

Downcast

"What are you discussing together as you walk along?" They stood still, their faces downcast.

One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, "Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in

these days?“ Luke 24:17-18

How did they feel?

Disillusioned

but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel And what is more, it is the third day since

all this took place

Luke 24: 21

How did they feel?

Opened up the Scriptures

"How foolish you are … Did not the Christ have to suffer these things?" And beginning

with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the

Scriptures concerning himself.

message is heard through the word of Christ.

As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus acted as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay

with them

Opened their eyes

When he was at the table with them, He took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him,

and He disappeared from their sight

who is the image of God.
