“What a wonderful maker, what a wonderful saviour” - just listening to these words sung by Matt Redman.
To my non-Christian friends. This morning's bible reading had the following words "But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15).
You know I don't push Christianity on anyone....but can I share this. The more I read the bible, the more I am impressed with the person of Jesus Christ. This includes the relevance of him in our world (both NZ and 3rd world). So without trying to sound too religious, please do consider looking into the person of Jesus. Perhaps reread in the bible, says the books of Luke or Mark. Perhaps read a book written about Jesus, i.e. The Jesus I Never Knew by Philip Yancey, (or his book What’s so Amazing about Grace). To read these one probably needs to go into a Christian Bookshop. Another author that helps one think along these lines without being too religious or churchy is Scot Peck, go into Whitcoulls or Paperplus and pick up The Road Less Travelled by Scott Peck.
I would hate you to miss out knowing him (Jesus). This does not mean one has to become all churchy. It means one gets to know the Maker. One ends up with a distinguishing possession of hope, hope that is real and distinctive.
God Bless
