Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 16th March
Christ the Loving Saviour
‘This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ has laid down his life for us’
(1 John 3:16).
We are in the season of Lent, rightly remembering our sins and failings as we lead up
to the most important days in all of history. The prayer for Ash Wednesday
in the Prayer Book gives us the words, ‘we worthily lamenting our sins,
and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee,
the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness: though Jesus Christ our Lord’.
On Good Friday the perfect Son of God died a terrible death,
laying down his life for the unworthy, that we may be forgiven.
He did it because he loved us and by this, we know that he loves us.
When we see this great truth, we can never be the same again.
Question for thought: How do we know what love is?
Almighty God, we give thanks for the vibrant fellowship and encouragement in the
Mothers Union in Tarime, Tanzania, and pray for the ongoing ministry
and mission of the Mothers Union. May the Sewing Centre not only help
those who come to acquire skills to provide an income for the future,
but also be an encouragement to their faith in Jesus. Amen
