I remember a few years ago standing in silence at the marked tomb of St John in Turkey and for a moment I felt a connection that went right down the centuries and a feeling that time stood still. It is a tomb perfectly restored in its preservation amid a city of ruin and excavation and archaeological diggings. But it was more than just a tomb. It was a symbol of a man's great love of God. A symbol that said to me that despite the destruction about us in our life and in the world, no matter how life pans out, God will be, and God endures. John left his mark for Christ for all to see, for all to know, a mark that spoke of determination to tell the world that Jesus Christ is Lord. I wonder, in the name of Jesus Christ, what marks we will leave on the world, on our community, on our church, on our families that will endure for generation to generation,not as a mark of greatness but a mark of loyalty, faithfulness and perseverance to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ
Anne, servant of the Lord.
