Faith Works
Since 1983 when Jesus made himself know to me, he has taught me through natural things I have seen in Creation, rather like parables, as well as from The Bible. This is a selection that I hope may encourage you.

Setting our sights higher in terms of how we perceive God and relate to him; how we perceive ourselves, to get to the place where we see ourselves as God sees us; setting our hopes and expectations higher, being led by the Holy Spirit.

Hope or Discouragement
Created in 2014
Early morning sun in the garden: May at its finest, floodlit by a pale gold light and sparkling with dew. As the sun climbed, it picked out new plants: the weigela with fat red buds and deep pink flowers in their prime; copper beech leaves with juvenile sheen; seedling nasturtiums thriving from last year's plants; clematis with delicate tendrils up the bamboo stick; and everywhere lush green. © Copyright Peter Wrigley 2014

Authority from Jesus
Created in 2013
I have been considering how the disciples were able to heal the sick and drive out demons before they had received the Holy Spirit. The answer is simple: Jesus gave them his authority. When he sent them out in his name, he literally meant that they could act in the same way he could. Jesus said that all authority in heaven and earth had been given to him. He was sending his disciples out in exactly the same way the Father had sent him out. (c) Copyright Peter Wrigley 2013
