Monday, December 04, 2006 ROLL CALLRecently I had the experience of working at a polling booth on election day. A very busy area and on my table alone I had over 600 people come up to me. Several of the people who came up to have their name marked on the electoral roll were quite upset when their name could not be found. I was able to direct them to the appropriate people to attend to them.It was a long day and challenging and I would be very happy to do it again. But it got me thinking..... What will it be like for those who go to see if their name is in The Lamb's Book of Life only to find no record. Their grief, agony, regret will come too late. They will remember when they rejected Christ, but it will be too late to do anything. They will be doomed to a Christless eternity. A very sobering thought. So often at this time of year (amid all the stress that comes with it) people's minds are turned towards the Babe in Bethlehem. They think it's a nice story and feel that if they attend midnight mass or church that all will be well. Don't we, as Believers, have a responsibility to bring the Good News of Jesus to them. To show them that Christmas without Easter means nothing, for the reason why Christ was born, was to ultimately die for our sins that we might have new life, and hear our names when 'the Roll is called up yonder.' We are joining with 3 other churches this year to hold an Evangelistic Carols in the Centreway on the 16th. A big undertaking, but we have an opportunity to share in the Good News (again amid all that stress!) # posted by shellymac @ 5:42 pm 0 comments |
