From the Diocesion Episcopa ... Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Church has one mission, but various ministries. The mission of the church is the mission of God fulfilled in the Jesus Christ. Christian life is a faith journey from an empty tomb. The disciples of Jesus bore witness to the risen Christ. We are called to bear witness to the risen Christ. In St.John 20 we read that the risen Christ appeared to the disciples on the very same day of his resurrection. He said to them ‘Peace be with you’. He showed them his hands and his side. There were nail marks in his hands and wounds at his side. He breathed on them and said, receive the Holy Spirit. As the Father has sent me so do I send you. God has sent his son as his first missionary to the world. When

he fulfilled his mission, the reward he received was cross. Jesus said that you do not expect a greater reward than this. The son of man came not to be served but to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). The risen Christ commanded the disciples to go to Galilee and bear witness to the risen Christ. Galilee was the place of gentiles. Gentiles were the unorganized people. The message of the risen Christ is significant to the unorganized people. Chennai-Bangalore diocese consists of many mission fields. They need our support in various ways. Let us rededicate ourselves for the fulfillment of God’s mission in this world. May God bless you all. Rt. Rev. Dr. Mathews Mar Makarios Episcopa Diocesion Episcopa Marthoma Bhavan, Chennai 27/03/2018.
