Coffee Carrots & eggs

A chef helped his daughter to

understand the significance of Jesus’ death and resurrection by

boiling carrots, eggs and ground

coffee beans in three saucepans. Each had faced the same adver-

sity, boiling water, but each reacted differently.

The carrots went in strong and unrelenting but after being in the water became softened and

weak. The eggs had been fragile, their thin outer shells had protected their liquid interior, but after

being in the boiling water became hardened.

However, the coffee beans were unique because after they were in the boiling water they changed

the water to become coffee.

He asked his daughter, “When difficulties come in

your life, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?”

Suffering on the cross did not harden Jesus to selfish behaviour but he could forgive those who

caused him pain. He said, “Father forgive them,

for they know not what they do.” He could think of his mother’s needs, asking John to take care of

her. It did not weaken him in that he could not carry out the Father’s will in dying for the sins of

the whole world, and being victorious. Even the

Roman centurion was changed by him, and said “Truly this man was the Son of God”. The hard-

ened criminal next to him was changed.

“Remember me when you come into your king-dom”, to which Jesus replied, “Today you will be

with me in Paradise.”

Jesus in the Resurrection was like a coffee bean,

because he not only overcome death for himself, but the Resurrection of Jesus for Christians who

believe and trust in him has changed everything, the way we live and the way we die, and that

death can never be the end because we live

eternally with Christ.

‘ “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send

some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not

grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” ’

Nehemiah 8 v 10

‘ “But I came to give life - life that is

full and good.” ’

John 10 v 10


Dear Friends,

God is not incensed and angry with you!

The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring

lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Peter 5:8. But

have you ever wondered why he acts like a roaring

lion?

It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the holy

Scriptures, the roaring of a lion speaks of the king’s

wrath - “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion.” Proverbs 19.12. So when the

devil, your adversary, prowls around like a roaring lion, he is trying to con you with

the idea that the King is angry with you. And when you mistakenly believe that

God is exasperated with you, the devil knows that he has got you.

When you think that God is annoyed or displeased with you, you will not be confi-

dent of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishment from

Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish to incur

His wrath.

But the Good News is that God is not infuriated with you, even when you fail; be-

cause all your sins have already been judged in the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus. As

the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “I

thirst.” (John 19:28)

Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirst was only

physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual also; because He was being “burnt” by

the fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body absorbed all

of God’s rage until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and God's anger

was appeased!

There is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that the same

crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s fury will never fall on you as

a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at Calvary. God judged your

sins that were laid on His Son.

So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favour. And His favour

rains down on you like dew on the grass every morning! Proverbs 19.12

Do keep this in mind as you remember and celebrate Jesus’ death, burial and res-

urrection.

With love, George, Joyce, Amen and Chrioni

N. B. Please pray as the Word continues to go out in these parts - concerning the

love of God. Thank you so much.

The Right Reverend Dr Michael Ipgrave has been

named as the new Bishop of Lichfield.

He assumes responsibility for one of the Church of Eng-

land’s largest dioceses, leading an episcopal team with

the Bishops of Wolverhampton, Stafford and Shrewsbury.

Bishop Michael (57), the current Bishop of Woolwich in the

Diocese of Southwark, will be the ninety-ninth Bishop of

Lichfield, in a line going back to St Chad in the seventh

century. He succeeds the Right Reverend Jonathan

Gledhill, who retired last year.

On the day of the announcement of his appointment, 2nd March 2016, Bishop Mi-

chael visited Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent, Little Drayton and Lichfield on a tour

meeting churches and communities across the Diocese.

In this personal welcome message to the Diocese, Bishop Michael says:

“I’ve had twelve wonderful years in London but I am so looking forward to coming

back to the Midlands. Lichfield is the mother church of the Midlands, and the city of

St Chad, a man of great humility and profound Christian faith.”

The Bishop of Wolverhampton, the Right Reverend Clive Gregory welcomed the

news: “A year ago on St Chad’s Day, Bishop Jonathan announced his retirement as

Bishop of Lichfield. Today, on St Chad’s Day, we can share the wonderful news that

Bishop Michael is joining us here in the West Midlands. He brings with him a rare com-

bination of gifts, as theologian and teacher, pastor and mission enabler, which will

greatly enrich our life as a Diocese.”

The Reverend Sarah Schofield, Vicar of All Saints, Wolverhampton, said “I’m excited

that Bishop Michael is coming first to Wolverhampton, to see our diverse churches

and discover the joys of the Black Country and its people."

The Right Reverend Geoff Annas, Bishop of Stafford, said “I am really thrilled by the

news of this important appointment. Our new Bishop brings a valuable wealth of ex-

perience and expertise, especially in the area of Inter Faith relations.”

The Archdeacon of Salop, the Venerable Paul Thomas, said “I have known Michael

since we were both students at Oriel College, Oxford and I hold him in high regard as

a person of deep integrity, high intelligence and wide-ranging interests. I believe he

will bring both enrichment and encouragement to Christians in North Shropshire, and

a genuine openness and attentiveness to people of other persuasions and perspec-

tives.”

The Very Reverend Adrian Dorber, Dean of Lichfield, said “I’m extremely pleased to

welcome Bishop Michael to Lichfield. He is a person of proven experience and wis-

dom, combining his many gifts with great approachability and personal warmth.”


The Bishop of Southwark, the Right Reverend Christopher Chessun, said “I rejoice that

Bishop Michael Ipgrave has been appointed to the See of Lichfield. He will bring to

his new role a heart for mission and a humble, gentle, yet purposeful manner which

will be a blessing to the people of Lichfield Diocese. He will be much missed and we

will all pray for him as well as the parishes and people of his new Diocese.”

About Bishop Michael

The Right Reverend Michael Geoffrey Ipgrave OBE, MA, PhD is currently Bishop of

Woolwich in the Diocese of Southwark. He grew up in a small village in Northampton-

shire. He studied mathematics at Oriel College, Oxford, and trained for the ministry at

Ripon College Cuddesdon, Oxford after a year spent working as a labourer in a fac-

tory in Birmingham.

He was ordained Deacon in 1982 and Priest in 1983 in the Diocese of Peterborough.

After more than twenty years’ ministry in Leicestershire and Japan, he became Arch-

deacon of Southwark in 2004. He was Canon Missioner at Southwark Cathedral from

2010 to 2012, Chair of the Southwark and London Diocesan Housing Association, and

Anglican Borough Dean of Southwark. Prior to this he had been Inter Faith Relations

Adviser to the Archbishops’ Council and Secretary of the Churches’ Commission on

Inter Faith relations.

He was awarded the OBE in the New Year’s Honours List in 2011 for services to inter

faith relations in London. Since 2012 he has been Area Bishop of Woolwich in the Dio-

cese of Southwark. He chairs the Council of Christians and Jews, and is co-Chair of

the Anglican-Lutheran Society and of the Church of England’s Mission Theology Advi-

sory Group.

Bishop Michael has written extensively on inter faith issues, religion and human rights.

He has edited six volumes on Christian-Muslim relations, is the author of Trinity and In-

ter Faith Dialogue (Peter Lang, 2003), and has contributed about thirty journal articles

and book chapters.

Bishop Michael is married to Dr Julia Ipgrave, a Senior Research Fellow in the Depart-

ment of Humanities at Roehampton University. They have three grown up sons, one

with a German and one with a Russian wife, and are looking forward to the birth of

their first grandchild in Germany.

Michael and Julia are enthusiastic about things Japanese. They enjoy walking, and

are looking forward to exploring Staffordshire and Shropshire on foot. He is a sup-

porter of Leicester City FC.

Please keep Bishop Michael and his wife Julia in your prayers as they

prepare to re-locate from London and as Bishop Michael prepares to

undertake the important role of serving and steering the Churches and

Mission within the Lichfield Diocese, and for continued growth and

guidance within our Diocese, Churches and communities.


There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea;

there's a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty.

There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than in up heav’n;

there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgment giv’n.

But we make his love too narrow

by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness

with a zeal he will not own. There is plentiful redemption

in the blood that has been shed, there is joy for all the members

in the sorrows of the Head.

For the love of God is broader than the scope of human mind,

and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word;

and our hearts would find assurance in the promise of the Lord.

Frederick William Faber (1814-1863) alt

Pray for Pastor Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso, Arrested during Obama's Cuba Visit - Cuba While President Obama was watching baseball in Cuba, Pastor Mario Felix Lleonart Barroso was sitting in a police station. Barroso, a Bap-tist pastor, blogger and friend of VOM, was thrown to the ground, handcuffed and detained at his home (which also serves as his church) just hours before Air Force One landed in Havana. The Cuban government de-cided to make sure there would be no “distractions” during President Obama’s visit, so Barroso and dozens of other dissidents were detained by police in the days leading up to the president’s arrival. A few hours after the president left Cuba, Pastor Barroso was set free and returned to his family. He was tired and weak, having fasted through-out his detention, but happy to be home. Please pray for Pastor Barroso and his wife, Yoaxis, as the pastor recovers from his recent detention. Pray for Danjuma's Upcoming Eye Surgery - Nigeria Danjuma, a 13-year-old Christian boy who was severely injured during an attack on his village, is scheduled for surgery to repair damage to his eye. On Jan. 28, 2015, Islamic militants attacked Danjuma with a machete, cutting into the left side of his head and later cutting out his right eye. As a result of the attack, Danjuma is blind and unable to distinguish any light in his left eye. He navigates his surroundings with a walking stick and will soon be attending a school for the blind. Please pray for Danjuma’s upcoming eye surgery, as it is unclear whether it will help him regain any vision. Pray also for his continued education. Pray for a Christian Family's Child, Run Over by a Motorbike - Middle East The child of a Christian family in the Middle East was badly injured recently when someone on a motorbike ran over the child and fled the scene. The child was rushed to the hospital and will require several surgeries. The Christian family began to face persecution from neighbors last month after the community learned that the family had come to faith in Jesus Christ. Despite severe persecution, all of the family mem-bers say they are ready to die for Jesus. Pray for this child’s healing and for the fam-ily’s continued encouragement and strength. Also pray that the family will be able to forgive the persecutors and try to share the gospel with them. Pray for Tom Uzhunnalil, Who Was Kidnapped During a Violent Attack - Yemen A Christian man from India, Tom Uzhunnalil, was kidnapped on March 4 during a vio-lent attack on a Christian nursing home in Aden, Yemen. Gunmen burst into the resi-dential facility and went room to room, handcuffing both full-time and volunteer staff members before executing 16 of them. Among those killed were workers from India, Kenya, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Yemen. The facility cares for 60 to 80 poor, elderly and disabled Yemeni citizens, none of whom were harmed in the attack. Please pray for Tom Uzhunnalil and those mourning the loss of those killed in the attack.
