CRU Update

What lengths would you go to for a friend in need? Many of us, if asked this question would say it depends on the person. But would you die for your friends?

Rev. Benn spoke to us at CRU this week following an update on MegaCRU along with a Bible reading from Charlie C on a passage from John 10. This passage contained the ‘I Am’ statement from Jesus where he says: ‘I am the good shepherd’. Jesus is the good shepherd, and he is the good shepherd who doesn’t just protect his sheep, but lays down his life for the sheep, which Jesus mentioned five times in the passage as Rev. Benn observed. In addition to this, Jesus knows his sheep, so it is a personal sacrificial death as well. In our situation, we have amnesty between us and God whereby we are living in a time when God graciously forgives us, because of Jesus, and his shepherd’s death for the sheep. Our sin is so great, we as sheep can’t do anything to solve this problem, but we depend on our shepherd. Jesus was willing to go to the cross for us and this was the only way we could be saved. We will continue to look through the ‘I Am’ sayings of John’s gospel in the final few weeks of Term. This is a great opportunity to come along and learn about Jesus on a Friday lunchtime in the Christian Studies building.
