The world is a REALLY SCARY place at the moment. The war in Ukraine with Putin’s threats of nuclear war was unsettling enough. Now Israel is in a all out war with Hamas in the Gaza strip and at any time this could engulf the entire Middle East… then who knows what China might do with Taiwan? For some, these foreboding events and threats are enough to put plans on hold… ‘wait and see what is going to unfold’. In the context of a baptism in our worship service, I am reminded of many reports over the years of couples saying they would not have children in such a volatile world. How do we make our way as Christians through such torrid times? Well, it has to do with a matter of perspective… do you see Christ the Lamb who has become the Lion of Judah? Seeing Him in control changes everything!
