You know I heard a radio program describe President-elect Barack Obama as the "Messiah" and label the God given miracle of the safe rescue of the folks on the jet liner that crashed as "Obama's First Miracle". Now needless to say I am sure that by now we know that Obama is not Jesus, but why do people grasp at that fact? It is because people desire a close and personal relationship with the one who is to save them. The true Messiah is waiting on you to respond to his call. Pick up the "telephone"! Pastor Bill Fay, in his book, "Share Jesus Without Fear" explains that once he had a dream and in the dream “All around, the ocean churned with drowning people, gasping for air…then a huge rock appeared…when they got to safety…they got involved building rock gardens, rock lives, listening to their rock music, and going to rock meetings…nobody went to the water’s edge to help [those still in the ocean].”* (Fay, 5) You know that is what we do, even as Christians. We praise God for the opportunity he has given us but forget to build a close personal relationship with Him and forget to help those who do not know of Jesus, find out what he is all about, through our actions, deed, and word. I pray today that those who read this will step out on faith and give themselves the opportunity to find God's grace by stepping out of the ocean, onto the rock, and turning around to help those who need help to get to the rock too!
Blessings!
