Why do I believe?

John 4 : 27-42

The answer is "I don't know". It is all a mystery to me and for that I am pleased that St Paul on more than one occasion talks of a "Holy Mystery" and that the fathers of the Church of England chose to include that phrase in the Eucharistic liturgy. What I do  know is that for me a life without God would not work.

I thought about it once. I thought about not going to church on Sundays, about not reading my Bible daily, about not talking to Jesus in my daily round, about not praying for my friends and family. A life bereft of these seemed a nonsense.

I believe because I have experienced life with Jesus.
