Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist, who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He is believed by many to be one of the greatest leaders in recent history. After being wrongly imprisoned for twenty-seven years by the racist government of South Africa of that day, Mandella was released and later became President of His country. However, Mandella did not call for revenge, but forgiveness and reconciliation. In that way, he pictures the Lord Jesus Christ. Falsely accused and crucified, He was heard to say as He was dying for the sins of the world, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Jesus died, “the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God. “Although Mandella was a great man, Jesus was the God-man, the greatest Who ever lived. And today He offers forgiveness and reconciliation to all.

Skeptics dismiss the story of Christ as a myth. But the brilliant C.S. Lewis, author of “Chronicles of Narnia”, and many others, was convinced that based on historic evidence, the record of Jesus’ supernatural life is true. Sir Frederick Kenyon, former Director of the British Museum wrote, “Both the authenticity and general integrity of the New Testament may be regarded as established.” The Apostles agreed. For example, Peter wrote, “We did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord…but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.” Can anyone of us say with assurance that we know everything? What if outside of our finite knowledge of the universe, a personal God, as described in the Bible does exist? Have you considered the consequences of unbelief?

A California university was awarded a five million dollar grant to try to find out if there is life after death. It is likely they will conclude there is no evidence of an afterlife, if they do not believe what is taught in the Bible, God’s inspired Word. There is no greater evidence for life after death than Christ’s physical resurrection. History records that after His resurrection, over a period of forty days, He was seen by hundreds. On one occasion, He was seen by over five hundred people at one time. It is doubtful if all five hundred would agree to lie about seeing Him, if they had not. Yes, Jesus died, went to the after life, then came back. He re-assures us that there is hope beyond the grave, if we have Christ in our lives. After all Jesus said, “Because I live, you shall live also. “

Our government is planning to impose a carbon tax on Canadians. But a few years ago, Denmark introduced the first “fat tax”, hiking the price of any product with a fat content higher than 2.3 percent. So, Danish shoppers responded by buying their “junk food” from other countries. You can’t legislate “good behaviour.” And we can’t make ourselves into Christians by self-reformation, because Jesus, the sinless Son of God is the only One who could be an acceptable substitute for us before God. The heavenly Father invites us all to accept the forgiveness and the gift of eternal life He has provided by sending His Son Jesus Christ to the cross. It is “by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves. It is the gift of God, not by works lest anyone should boast. “Yes, Heaven is a gift.

“It is easy to be seduced by glitter and novelty, by T.V. ads telling us how to beautify our homes, or what splashy accessories we should buy.” Fiorenza Gleasure wrote those words in an article in the Globe and Mail. Ms. Gleasure says she often stops and asks herself the question, “Do I really need to buy this?” That is a very good question for all of us. Materialism doesn’t satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. That only happens when we place our faith in God’s Son, Jesus Christ. When that takes place, we can experience joy and fulfillment beyond anything money can buy. The psalmist put it this way- “Oh that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness…for He satisfies the longing soul and fills the hungry with goodness.” The lord gives everyone of us the invitation- “O taste and see that the Lord is good.”

The creed of a famous movie actor was given to a newspaper. He summed up his philosophy of life writing, “ I’m going to do as I please. I don’t need anybody in the world. .” How sad! Tragically, that is the unspoken creed of many people who worship their supposed creator- themselves. This is a foolish philosophy of life. We have been created by God, and we are only alive because He allows it. If we have any gifts or talents, it is because he has bestowed them. Even preparation for the next life is in His hands. He has said, “By grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” We all have a philosophy of life. What is yours? Is it that of the famous but unwise actor, or is it one with eternity’s values in view?

This summer Major League Baseball celebrated the life of Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play major league baseball. Throughout his decade- long career with the Brooklyn Dodgers., he helped the team win the World Series in 1955. He retired with a career batting average of .311. For a while during his youth, Robinson ran with a neighborhood gang. An older friend helped him to realize how he was hurting his mother and himself. Jackie listened, and left the gang. He traded his wishbone for a backbone. Perhaps you are saying, “ I wish I could I could be a Christian, but its just easier to run with the crowd.” Why not trade your wishbone for a backbone like Jackie Robinson did. And why not heed the invitation, to “ Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near.”

In eastern Pennsylvania, Penny McKim purchased a shoebox full of coins and medals. Later she discovered that one of the medals had originally belonged to famed industrialist and Bethlehem Steel founder, Charles M. Schwab and was extremely valuable. Clearly, someone did not recognize its true value and abandoned it. There are many other valuable but underestimated items in our lives too. For example, the Bible, which has the power to transform lives, is often ignored and gathers dust. Of this great book it is written, “The Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart.” To underestimate and neglect the truth concerned in God’s Word is to lose something unbelievably valuable. We shouldn’t let that happen.

Many sincere people do not believe the Bible is true and accurate. If that is your view, please consider to the following. We know that the Bible was written over a period of 1500 years by many different writers who lived in different time, were from different countries, and spoke different languages. And though many critics have tried, even in the courts, nobody has ever been able to prove error or contradictions in the original manuscripts of the Bible. How was this possible? God was the author and He inspired humans to write what He wanted written. The Bible claims that “All scripture is written by inspiration of God”, and it explains that “holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” This trustworthy book tells us that God offers forgiveness and cleansing and urges us to “Seek the Lord while He may be found.”

In 1967, Joni (Joanie) Erickson Tada, a promising teenage athlete, broke her neck in a diving accident, leaving her totally paralyzed. She spent twenty-five years in a wheelchair, but then failing health forced her to go back to bed. Her loving husband Ken hung a bird feeder outside her window. Watching the birds, she remembered that Jesus said we are all worth more than sparrows. Joni, now an author, artist, Founder and Host of Joni and Friends, wrote, “ If the great God of heaven concerns Himself about a little ragtag sparrow, He cares about me.” She thought, how God must have loved us, to give Jesus His Son to provide forgiveness, cleansing and someday a home in heaven. Joni’s story reminds us that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
