Pulpit Calendar
March 2023 Dear GBC Family,

At times hastily we get to say ‘I understand’,


Morning Services at 10.00 am to those who have been constantly going through a
05 Ps. Shimi lot of pain. Can we ever understand someone else’s
(Holy Communion) pain, without we ourselves going through it? All of
12 Ps. Ashish H. Khan us may show great sympathy for the victims of pain
19 Ps. Raja and sufferings, but only a few, who underwent simi-
26 Ps. Shimi lar pain, can actually have empathy for such people.
This is the kind of God, Bible offers to us, God who
Thursdays at can empathize with us. One of the things that
6.30 p.m. strongly compels me to believe and to follow the
(1 Samuel) God of the Bible, is this aspect of God: The Sover-
09 online eign God who himself chose to suffer the conse-
23 online quences of evil (pain, injustice etc) so to be the solu-
tion for the problem of evil and all its consequences.
Thursdays at 6.30 p.m.
02 online As we choose to reflect on the Life of Jesus
16 online during this lent season, may we be open to think
30 online afresh, on ‘the very need for God, in Jesus, to suf-
Saturday Ladies Prayer fer’ (Isaiah 53:5); On ‘the significance of our internal
Meet at 5.00 p.m. cleansing and healing’ (Mark 2:5); and as well on
18 online ‘the aspect of God’s glorious purposes in and
through our pain & sufferings’ (John 9:2,3).
Sanctuary is
open These reflections I believe would help us to
from Sat to Thu deepen our faith in our God, who is not alien to our
(9:30 am to pain and sufferings. In addition, they would lead us
01:00 pm)
to a true sense of worship and obedience, the more
we come in terms with Jesus, who had already
walked the path of sufferings, that we are now walk-
ing through.

May our hearts sing,

“He walked where I walk;


He stood where I stand;
He felt what I feel;
He Understands…”

In Him,
Shimi
