Pastoral Epistle – April 19, 2023

Posted on: April 22nd, 2023 by St. Bede Anglican Church

Beloved Congregation,
Greetings in Jesus! 
“The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!”  ‭‭Luke‬ ‭24‬:‭34‬ ‭Our Lord rose from the dead; he appeared to over five hundred people; but He specifically appeared to the apostle Peter.  Peter had denied Jesus three times; but Jesus went after him to strengthen his faith.  Peter was transformed into an exceptional witness of His resurrection.
