In San Francisco last month, a senior faced death when his wheelchair became stuck on a railroad track with an oncoming train only seconds away. Officer Erika Urrea rushed to the scene and hoisted the helpless man out of the wheelchair, saving his life just in time. She risked her own life to save another. Paul the Apostle was inspired to comment on such situations, saying, “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.” He reminds us of the rarity of someone dying even for a good person. Then, he revealed God’s amazing love, saying, “But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Officer Urrea bravely acted to save a life. Jesus acted with love to save our souls.

A Christian farmer painted the words “God is love” on his weathervane. His neighbor, a skeptic, asked, “Do you mean that God’s lobe changes like the wind does?” “No,” replied the Christian, “I mean that God loves me no matter which way the wind blows.” Thankfully, no matter which way the winds of adversity blow in our lives, whether poor, prospering, successful, or failing, He is still there with His love. I am glad that God loves you and me. I know that from personal experience, but also from what is written in His Word. Listen to what Paul was inspired to write in the New Testament: “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” No matter who you are, no matter what you have done, God still loves you. Please reach out to Him for forgiveness.

“That’s it, I’ve had it. All you ever hear on radio and TV is bad news. I know they’re only reporting what’s going on, but I’m not listening anymore.” You’ve surely heard that sentiment many times, and it’s understandable. Today on Just a Minute, I will not be repeating bad news. The New Testament was written in an ancient language called koine Greek (“common Greek”). In the Greek New Testament, the noun evangelion (“gospel”) appears over seventy times. It is a word that means “good news.” So today in a time of bad news, the God of heaven offers us all good news. Even though He informs us that “all have sinned,” His Son “Christ died for our sins” on an old rugged cross and He offers every one of us forgiveness and “the gift of eternal life.” How’s that for good news?

Walter Lippman, an American Pulitzer prize winner, has been called “the most influential journalist of the 20th century.” He once said, “We ourselves were sure that at long last the generation had arisen […] to put this disorderly earth to right […] and look what we have made of it.” What is required is a new kind of man. The Bible sums up our fallen nature, telling us “all have sinned.” Jesus explained that we all need to be “born again.” When we admit our spiritual need and invite Christ into our lives, God promises, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. […] I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statues.” That is God’s new kind of man, one who has been spiritually reborn.

As he approached the cash register to pay for his groceries, the young woman ahead of him said, “Even though you have a mask on, you still need to keep further away.” He backed up. These situations are common these days, but different from the relationship between the Heavenly Father and us. In fact, God inspired James in the New Testament to write, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” Because of the current conditions in our world, it is sadly necessary to keep our distance from others. Thankfully, our loving Savior invites us to “draw near” to Him, not distance ourselves. Surprisingly, even though “He is holy” and none of us on our own deserves to be near Him, He invites us to come to Him. Elsewhere in the Bible, the Lord invites, “Come to Me, […] and I will give you rest.”
