Easter Approaches
Easter is drawing near. For believers, this may be the most important reminder of our faith. It is because of the work of the cross that mission has its meaning. Otherwise it will just be good works. But you and I know that it is beyond good works that drives you to be "out there". It is this message of the good news that is the driving force. The incredible love that our Father has for mankind is the message.
In Isaiah 48, it says that God's hand has spread out the heavens. Can you imagine how small we are in the palm of His hands? Maybe like a speck of dust? Yet Jesus chose to leave all that and came as a babe whom we can hold in our hands. He chose to walk the way of the cross for the "speck of dust" in His hand. This is the message of the great love and hope that we have. A love so great that we cannot comprehend. This is the reason that drove many in obedience to their call, whether it be a road of suffering or a road of heartaches.
May this Easter season be a reminder to us all that, 200 years ago, the journey which Christ took is a reason for us to walk faithfully in our journey today.
