    22. The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

    23. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had.

    24. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

    25. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.

    26. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go, unless you bless me.”

    27. So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”

    28. Then the man said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with humans, and have prevailed.”

    29. Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him.

    30. So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.”

    31. The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

    32. Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the thigh muscle that is on the hip socket, because he struck Jacob on the hip socket at the thigh muscle.

    1. So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

    2. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth,

    3. for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

    4. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

    5. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).

    6. On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient.

    7. These are the ways you also once followed, when you were living that life.

    8. But now you must get rid of all such things—anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth.

    19. When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

    20. After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

    21. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”

    22. When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

    23. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Jesus and Thomas

    24. But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

    25. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”

    26. A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

    27. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.”

    28. Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

    29. Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.” The Purpose of This Book

Message From Vicar In Charge: Rev. Johnson Samuel

Dearly beloved in Christ Jesus, Greetings to you all in the name of our Lord and Sav- ior Jesus Christ. As per the Church almanac, the first Sunday of this month is observed as the 'land for the landless mission'. It was a unique involvement of the church for the needy. During the Lenten season, many of us may use our resources to help fellow beings. Caring blesses the one who gives as well as the one who receives. Every year May12th celebrated as Mother's Day throughout the United States. The American people use the carnation flower on Mother’s Day, which is pinned to the mother’s dress. Even today they use this white flower. White is symbolic of pure love. When the flower withers away the pure love remains within. Mother's love like-wise is always pure, and she embraces her children with love even if they make mistakes and forgive them. Because of Anna Jarvis we are celebrating Mother’s Day. We remember her on that day with gratitude.

Message From Youth Chaplain : Rev. Jess M. George Achen

Glory be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit - One true God! Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! As we approach Christmas, our hearts are filled with joy and anticipation, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to bring salvation and hope. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians (2:5-11), provides profound insight into the true significance of Christmas through the concept of kenosis, which means self-emptying.
