The Oxford Dictionary has added about 500 new entries. Among them are “keener” a student who is excessively eager, “Meh” an interjection used to describe boredom, and “jeggings” a name for stretch leggings styled to resemble jeans. Words like “grass”, “mouse” and “gay” have new meanings. Many ask, “What next?” It’s refreshing to know that the meaning of the words of the most famous of all Bible verses have not changed. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.” In this changing world, there is an unchanging Saviour who is “Jesus Christ the same, yesterday and today and forever.” He still welcomes all who need the love He offers

It is the year of elections in Canada. Alberta and PEI voted last month. This month it is Newfoundland’s turn. In October there will be a Federal election. When we vote, we make important choices to the best of our ability. But the greatest decision of all time is that faced by Pontius Pilate, Governor of Judea in the time of Christ. His question was, “What shall I do then with Jesus, who is called the Christ?” Will we choose to believe that He is the Son of God? Or will it be unbelief and rejection and the serving of gods of our own making? The wise will follow Peter’s example when He said to the Saviour, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” On election days, we choose a government, but the choice we make regarding Jesus will determine where we will spend eternity.

John Milton, the great English poet, at the height of his career began to lose his eyesight. As a devout follower of Jesus Christ, he did not become bitter, but accepted his condition. Amazingly, after he became blind, he produced the great epic poem, “Paradise Lost.” Perhaps today, I speak to someone who has just lost a loved one, or had a serious financial setback. Whatever your situation, when we have Christ in our lives, we can be assured that as the old hymn says, “underneath are the everlasting arms.” Our Lord promises “My grace is sufficient; my strength is made perfect in weakness.” The Lord Jesus invites, “Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy burdened, and I will give you rest.”

Professor Karl Aquino, of the University of British Columbia, says, “I confess that although I study forgiveness, I do not always understand how people can do it…how they can forgive those who are most undeserving. The common reason is devout people forgive because God would want them to, and non-religious people who are honest with themselves know we are all sinners.” God is the author of forgiveness. The Bible tells us that He is “a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate…abounding in love.” How amazing it is that when an undeserving person sincerely repents and asks for forgiveness of sins, God is “faithful and just to forgive…and to cleanse from all unrighteousness.” Then when we have experienced God’s forgiveness, we can forgive.

Generation Y, also known as the Millennial generation, is comprised of children of baby boomers. Born from the late 1970s, to the early 2000s, they have been called the “me, me, me” generation Because of their perceived materialistic tendencies they have the highest rate of materialism addiction to date. Jesus taught the opposite of self-absorption. He taught self-denial, asking the rhetorical question, “What shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?” Whatever our generation, we all share one common characteristic. We are all sinners by nature and by choice and we all need Christ to come into our lives, forgive our sins, help us to live useful productive lives, and prepare us for heaven.

A little boy with a reputation for causing havoc, was a patient in a children’s hospital. A visitor, trying to help, told him that if he obeyed the nurses for one week, she would give him a dime. A week later she returned and asked, “Do you deserve the dime?” A small voice said, “Gimme a penny.” Whether this really happened or is just a made-up story, it does illustrate a serious truth. If God were to ask us “Have you obeyed my commandments?” few would even be able to say, “Give me a penny”, because though the word “sin” is not popular these days, most of us are aware that we do sin. The Bible clearly states “The wages of sin is death.” But for the benefit of people who ask Jesus for His mercy, we are told that “The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

A 2500-year-old Egyptian mummy is taken out of his casket in Massachusetts regularly for cleaning and restoration. But clean or not, that mummy is still a dead man. He has no life. But Jesus came to give us life, even after death. He came, the Bible says, “That we might have life, and have it more abundantly.” He did so by paying our sin debt when He became our substitute dying on the Cross. There He proclaimed victory over death when He arose from the dead. Before we come to Christ, we have “no hope and (are) without God in the world.” But when we accept Christ as our Saviour, the Scriptures tell us, “And you He has made alive who were dead…in sin…and now have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” That is the greatest news flash we will ever hear.

Abraham Reyes of Mississauga Ontario unveiled the world’s biggest natural pearl. It weighs 27.65 kilograms and is believed to be worth sixty to ninety million dollars. Its worth was not known until recently. Many others, unknowingly, have a great treasure in their homes. It is a book often being ignored, gathering dust, which tells the story of man, what God is like and clearly reveals how to get to heaven. It is the Bible. One writer was inspired to describe it as follows. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword… and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” It is truly a “pearl of great price.” Please get out this valuable treasure in your home. Read it and follow its instructions.

“Don’t follow me, I’m lost.” Those words were seen on the back of a car. The word “lost” can mean not knowing where we are, or perhaps lost at sea. Jesus used the word to describe our spiritual condition. He said, “The Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” When we are trying to “find ourselves,” it is very important not to follow every voice we hear. Some invite us to try to work our way to heaven, others tell us that at death, that is all, there is no after life. But God’s Word, the Bible, says, “And this is life eternal, that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” For spiritually lost people, Jesus is “the way, the truth and the life.” He said no one comes to the Father except through Him.

A Maritime Senior noticed that he had poor vision in one of his eyes. It surprised him because his lenses were up to date, he had no cataracts or other eye problems, yet for some unknown reason, he could not see clearly out of his left eye. Then he discovered a heavy film on that lens. A thorough cleaning solved the problem. And in like manner, before we give our lives to Christ, we are unable to understand much of the Bible, or its truths. Paul explained why. “The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him… for they are spiritually discerned.” But when Jesus comes into our lives, He takes the scales from our eyes, and we can see and understand the Bible and its teachings.
