Ambling through some internet entries under ‘....A happy
New Year’ I came across a greeting to all non-smokers and those who
would join us by giving up this year.
It
occurred to me that I might make this month’s message:
A
Happy New Year To All Bible Believing Christians
&
All Who Will Join Us This Year
By
Jesus Christ To Forgive Their Sins.
That
might be a greeting, of sorts, but is it a message?
Well,
there is a message lying behind the greeting.
The
first part is that as a Christian Church isn’t just self-congratulating.
We do desire to see others sharing in the blessings we enjoy. We hope and
pray that others will join us this year. Not just to swell our numbers
but to enjoy what we have.
The
second part of the message is there too.
You
become a Bible Believing Christian if you take up what the Bible says –
namely that:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners....
(That’s
how the Apostle Paul wrote it in
1 Timothy chapter 1 verse 15.)
So we
need to come and ask his forgiveness.
ACTUALLY we wish all our readers a Happy New Year
– those
who believe and all the others.
We hope
they will find Jesus as their personal Saviour.
[We’d be pretty dumb Christians if that wasn’t our hope and prayer!] |
