I was born in Durban, South Africa, and was raised in a wonderful Christian family. My first experience with the Lord was in Empangeni, Zululand, where a wonderful man of God, Neville Pringle, sowed the seed in my formative years. I started playing music semi–professionally in my teens and turned professional in the early 1980’s. We played clubs predominantly in Durban, and it was a time where I slid back into the world. It was cool then, but when I look back now, I made mistake after mistake, and was on my own mission, communing with the Lord only when I was in trouble.

John 19:17-25a:

The betrayal of Judas ,the denial of Peter, the interrogation and trial of Jesus in which Pilate was persuaded to condemn a man he believed to be innocent, and the decision of the Sanhedrin that Jesus must be destroyed, becomes a fact. The beauty of this decision though will ultimately result in Jesus, not being crushed under a heap of stones, but by being lifted up for all to see so that he may draw all people to himself! On the cross Jesus reigns.

As we know the death of Jesus is his own act of love and obedience to the Father. The mighty work of Jesus is done. The sacrifice is complete, his death not defeat, but victory. The final cry issued by Jesus is: “It is finished”. Here we are able to comprehend and understand is that the death of Jesus is in itself the source of life. It is by the dying of Jesus that the life-giving and cleansing power of God is released into the life of the world. The chapter comes to an end with Jesus lying in the tomb. We will soon learn a new creation coming forth from the tomb.

John 20:1-31:

John offers four people as being certain about the risen Christ and they are Mary, Peter and John, and Thomas. Mary explains her experience to the other disciples in 20:18 and states that: "I have seen the Lord." She has seen and believes. Thomas also believes because he saw.  The other occasions are actual sightings of the resurrected Jesus

Jesus says future believers will have the witness of those who did see him (20: 30-31). Mary sees both angels and Jesus but only believes when she hears him call her name. Thomas also requires something more than sight to believe and to touch Jesus' wounds.

Peter later describes such believers: "Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls" (1 Peter 1:8-9).

Now we head to Sunday when it all becomes clear to folk who have decided that they need to get away from Jerusalem, away from their failure, and away from the cross, because the one who they believed would be their mighty, warrior, conquering king had died, and, with, him, so had their hope.
