St. Andrew's Day


In September last year I was part of a Study Group that visited Geneva to learn more about the Reformers, particularly John Calvin and John Knox.

On our first morning the weather was glorious and I was delighted to see a St. Andrew's cross in the sky created by two jet contrails. The moon was still visible shining faintly between the ends of the two right-hand arms just up from the centre.

With today being St Andrew's Day I share with you my photo of that St. Andrew's cross. Today we give thanks for Andrew, who brought his brother Peter to meet Jesus the Messiah, and for all the subsequent generations of Christians who have brought that revelation into today's world.

Calvin and Knox played their part in bringing the Good News to their generation. Today each of Christ's followers have the challenging task of introducing our generation to Jesus of Nazareth, who came as a baby, died on a Cross, and rose from the tomb to demonstrate his victory over death itself.

Truly He is the Messiah, the Christ, the Lord and Saviour of the whole World.
