First we have to know why we need Jesus. He is the only one sent to die for his people so that our sins might be forgiven and we could once again find acceptance by God. Who are God's children? They are from all kinds of backgrounds, colour and ethnicity. Many of them have been brought up in various religions and even many who are brought up in Christianity may prove not to be his children. It is only by God's grace, his free gift that we become his children. He calls us and then gives us the gift of faith by which we put our trust in him. I am delighted that this blog reaches all over the world. Because of this I can urge you to put your trust in Jesus. If you do this I look forward to meeting you either in this world or more likely in the next. Jesus says,"Come unto me and I will give you rest." Do you hear him calling you? Search after him until you find him. He promises that if you search with all your heart you will find him.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
