When John the Baptist told his followers about the coming of Jesus, he said something that was both unexpected and controversial.
He said of Jesus that:
He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.” (Matthew 3:12)
In other words, Jesus was coming to judge.
Christians often make the tragic mistake of being embarrassed about the coming judgement that Jesus will bring, as they inadvertently paint a picture of Christ that is false and misleading.
For unless we see Jesus as our coming judge, we don’t understand how seriously he takes sin.
But more than that: it is only as we see Jesus as our coming judge that we can really, deeply understand what it means for him to be our saviour.
This week we’re learning a brand-new song that’s co-written by our friends at Sovereign Grace Music, as well as our local mate, Colin Buchanan.
It’s called, ‘Jesus, our Judge and our Saviour’ and you can read all the lyrics (and grab the sheet music) at sovereigngracemusic.com
The chorus beautifully sums up the truths of Jesus being both our judge and our saviour:
Call now, O sinner, on your coming Judge To be here even now as your Saviour Fall now, O sinner, on the mercy and grace Of Jesus, our Judge and our Saviour
The glory of Jesus is seen in the fact that he, himself, is both the one who is coming to judge, and at the same time, the one who has come already to save.
It is as we see the seriousness of his judgement that we uphold the riches of his salvation, and gaze at the beauty of his love.

This weekend Jodie continues the series ‘Effective Christianity’ with a talk on Titus 1:10-16 with the title ‘Effective Rejection.’
There are two questions so far for Question Time, but feel free to email us if you’d like to ask some others:
1 If an elder can only have one wife, can he remarry if he’s widowed? 2 How does the Bible’s list of elder characteristics apply to wardens and parish councillors? 3 When God looks at us, does he see Christ or does he see us without our sin? 4 Why does 1 John 3:9 say we don’t continue to sin, when we know we do?
Every day (except Sundays) we meet at 7am online for an online half-hour morning prayer time at zoom.jamberooanglican.com and you’re very welcome to join us!

The most-senior Anglican in Papua New Guinea, Archbishop Nathan Ingen, chose to attend our church as part of his visit to churches in the Sydney region.
Archbishop Nathan is the Primate of all of Papua New Guinea, the leader and spokesperson for the three million Anglicans scattered over hundreds of remote communities.
During an interview at last week’s 4pm service, Archbishop Nathan identified three challenges of his role, namely, “finances, training pastors, and reaching remote communities.”
Although he was invited by the Archbishop of Canterbury to attend last week’s Primate’s Meeting in Rome, he chose instead to accept the invitation of the Archbishop of Sydney to nurture the partnership his Diocese shares with like-minded, gospel-centred Anglicans, in fellowship with Gafcon Global Anglicans.
Archbishop Nathan is a rural clergyman, serving as a bishop in the Diocese of Apro Rongo, in a place he describes as “on the top of a mountain” in the highlands of PNG.
In his country, the church provides 98% of health and education services, bringing practical care to a country that lacks many of the everyday necessities that are taken for granted in Australia.
Close to his heart is the recruitment and training of pastors, and Archbishop Nathan remains deeply thankful for the financial partnership provided by churches in the Sydney Diocese, such as Jamberoo Anglican.
At present they are building a theological college in the highlands of PNG, and they are seeking additional funds to set up another ministry training facility in Alotau, near Milne Bay, on the East Coast.
We are thankful for our partnership with Anglicans throughout the world through the Gafcon network, and pray that Archbishop Nathan might continue to lead his province and diocese in gospel ministry to the glory of God.

You’re probably aware I’ve been battling cancer for five years. I’m sorry to say my treatment has had to come to an end, any further treatment won’t help, and might cause further problems.
My cancer appears to be growing slowly, but it has lodged in the lining of my lungs.
I became a Christian when I was 20. I didn’t ask God to set his love on me back then and choose me to be his in Christ (Ephesians 1:4), and so I can’t complain he has now asked me to walk this road.
People often talk in terms of “living with cancer”, but the apostle Paul is more helpful when he says that “to live is Christ and to die is gain” (Philippians 1:21).
What does the future hold? Well, there are many passages in the New Testament that focus on heaven and eternal life with God. Often people will think in terms of doing your favourite activity, like golf, or bingo, forever in a party-like atmosphere.
But the New Testament focusses on God the Father and Jesus the sacrificial lamb at the centre of heaven, with a vast circle of saved sinners (and I’m not writing as anything other than as a sinner who has been forgiven by Jesus), focusing their shared delight upon the centre of heaven. Maybe this is what the old pictures of harps on the clouds were trying to convey.
The gospel clearly states that we cannot enter heaven by trying to be good. We all have sins in our lives. These sins need to be wiped away, forgiven, because nothing unclean can enter God’s heaven. This is why Jesus died as our substitute on the cross.
I want ask you, are you prepared for heaven? Only by being forgiven is the door opened, and it’s open very wide indeed.

This Sunday we begin a brand-new series on the book of Titus called ‘Effective Christianity,’ and Jodie kicks things off with a talk on Titus 1:1-4 with the title ‘Effective Faith.’
This week our much-loved Question Time returns, and here is the list of questions that you’ve asked over the past few weeks that Jodie is looking forward to answering for us:
1 What will the Holy Spirit do after Christ’s return? 2 What does John 11:16 mean? 3 Why was the reversal of the Babel only temporary? 4 If relationships are eternal, why isn’t marriage? 5 If God knew Satan would fall, doesn’t that mean he created sin? 6 Are Arminians saved? 7 Do miracles still happen today? 8 Can every question be answered?
Every day (except Sundays) we meet at 7am online for an online half-hour morning prayer time at zoom.jamberooanglican.com and you’re very welcome to join us!
After church we’ll have brunch in the morning and dinner in the evening, so there’s plenty of time to chat and chew, together!
See you on Sunday, God willing!
