Luke 13:31-35

31 At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.’ 32 He replied, ‘Go and tell that fox, “I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.” 33 In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day – for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! 34 ‘Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. 35 Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”’

Unless

The title ‘Supreme Leader’ is one commonly used to refer to the rulers of Iran and North Korea. These are rulers that demand and maintain absolute power and control by force, coercion, threat and violence which often leads to death. A synonym would be the title ‘Lord’. So, when the disciples say to Thomas, “We have seen the Lord” they are saying, “We have seen our Supreme Leader”. Thomas’s demand to see the nail marks on Jesus’ body as proof of who he is, really is a profound and insightful reflection on what kind of ruler Jesus is: a Supreme Leader who gives up absolute power and control and dies so that his people might have life. Thomas knows it’s the scars that prove it.

Supreme Leader is also a Korean restaurant on Unley Rd, but I don’t think that’s what the disciples were referring to.

Why are you weeping?

5 April, 2026 Pastor John Strelan

[see image above] Can you spot the differences? I hope there is one that you see straight away!

Now, if only it was that easy to tell the difference that Jesus’ resurrection makes in our world! It’s not always easy when we look around at what’s happening in the world. But, perhaps we need to look with more than just our eyes.

And, I wonder if anyone else notices a difference in us after we shout, “He is risen”?
