Sermon for May 10, 2026
A reflection on John 16:33: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Human history has been far more a story of war than of peace, and today we live surrounded by security checks, metal detectors, and constant anxiety. We were not created for conflict but in the image of God, and Christ came as the Prince of Peace. We catch glimpses of His kingdom when we gather in love as a parish family, and Jesus promises a peace the world cannot give: “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
