I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE
On Sunday morning, we were thinking about Jesus saying, “I am the way, and the truth and the life”. On Sunday afternoon Liverpool lifted the Premiership Trophy. You are probably wondering why I should bring these two events together. (And I am sorry to mention this for supporters of other teams, but I had to share the photo below) Alisson Becker, the Liverpool Goalkeeper didn’t say in any interviews that he had been watching our Livestream on Sunday morning but he was seen wearing a rather special T-Shirt as he celebrated Liverpool’s 20th League Trophy at Anfield.
