This night, 5 converts to Jesus were baptised. A baptismal service at which visitors were challenged with the question is Jesus worth a second look?
Excerpts from the sermon:
“This is not for me, I am not the sort. This Jesus, not for me? Well maybe you are to busy? Yeah you have so much to do and this doesn't seem to be particularly that important, but the trouble is we surround ourselves don't we, with busy distractions. Are you too distracted to think? To give Jesus a second look? Maybe you think, well it seems quite interesting, but actually not at the moment, I’ll think about this things later… maybe after college or when I've got a job, when I've settled down, or when the kids are older, when I've paid the mortgage, or when I retire, and its always later, later….later. But of course then we run out of laters don’t we!? And we have bargained our life away!
“They haven’t found religion!......They have found the real thing, they have found Jesus Christ.” |
