The Baby Jumped!

Did you see it? Maybe , have you seen it in the past? Somehow someway the little child was found on top of a wall. The wall was one made of cement blocks, sturdy and solid. It looked like it had been built by someone adding to its height through time. Now the wall was of the height you could not just step over it and it was growing taller.

It was on this day on top of the wall was a child. A small baby whose only portion of adding to the wall would be his reliance on others. Each block was made of troubles Lack of money, loss of. Job or a relationship issue. Yes, the child has to rely on someone for food , safety, and a roof over his head. If asked about those things the child does not worry because he has faith in someone, his mom or dad or both. He just knows they will be there for him in his time of need.

Yet, today he, the baby, is on top of a wall. Unable to climb down the only way off is to jump. There at the base of the wall, the mound of the troubles, was the babies father. His father with his arms stretched out and saying jump. Everything will be OK. Come on JUMP!

Oh my, the Baby stretched out his arms and with a big smile of relief he jumped. I wish you would have seen it. It looked like the child had wings. Because he flew right into his Father’s arms. Can you imagine what that child was feeling. First, while he was on top of his wall of troubles, he was afraid. He was a scared. Then when he saw his Father standing there at the bottom. The very place he was dreaming to be. A feeling of possibility and excitement. Then as he spread out his arms and he took flight, there it was the feeling of freedom. He jumped of his wall of trouble in faith the his Father would catch him. That was exactly what happened. The Father caught him and held him tightly. The baby was safe at last

Is it your turn to Jump? Hey you there feeling like you are on a mountain of troubles. Your Heavenly Father is waiting . Look for him You will find Him with His arms stretched open wide calling out to you. Jump. Have faith in Him. He will catch you. Jump

P.8

What about me?

There I sat in a crowded room feeling so alone. It was Monday morning my favorite day of the week. Because, you got it, awe it was time to ride down to the Diner. Once I’m there it’s me and the fellas we all take our seat at our table. You know we have met at the same table for 45 years and our fathers met there before us. This Monday was different. It was different for one reason because it was my turn to bring the topic of concern weighing heavy on the community.

Yes, it was my turn and the diner is full of people. I can see the boys coming in. So many people and there I sit so alone. Why? I’ll tell you. The topic I feel I have to bring I realize I never was invited into their situation. No one even asked me for my opinion . Not only that I discussed this with my Bride in great detail and now I seem to understand their concerns from both the man and the woman’s side. We talked further thinking back when she was a child and I believe I understand the families concerns from the teenage daughter. I just feel as if I could be of some help but, I was not invited.

Now here I sit and it’s my turn to speak and I know as a Christian Pastor it would be Sin. Sin it would be wrong to metal it another’s business without being invited by them.

Then as soon as those thoughts cleared my mind I see the young family walk in. Oh My, if I was to have brought up their problems not only would be have been wrong but they would have over heard our discussion and the embarrassment that would have come over them . My dear Jesus, Wow.

The most remarkable thing happened. The dad and his daughter from our first story walked right up to me and ask, are you a pastor? We need Gods help. Will you help us talk with Him?

At that moment God took care of the whole morning. God had been preparing me for this very moment in time. Yes, we did talk about the young family’s concerns. Yes, we shared the story of Jesus and how He was the Son of God. Yes said that since Jesus was a sinless man and the only Son of God He was the only only who could pay the price for all the sins of all mankind. He gave up His life and was nailed to a cross and died. He was laid in a tomb for 3 days. However, on the 3rd day He rose up from the dead. Jesus said if you will just believe in him you will have everlasting life with Him in Heaven. Both that little girl and her dad accepted Christ. They did not understand everything it what they understood about Jesus was enough to save them.

Friends I don’t know your situation. You have never invited me to get involved. By reading this I don’t have to for you now know enough.
This world is changing ever so fast. We agreed that the older we get the faster time seems to fly. You. Do not know how much longer you have to settle all those issues. You will never settle that sin issue without Jesus.

If you were to die today and you find there is nothing . It’s over. ok
But, what if you die today and the Bible is right. You will meet your creator. When He Ask you why should I let you into My Heaven?What will you say?

You might say: Well, I was a good person.
God will answer: Not good enough. You sinned

You could say: Well, I did all those good deeds.
God will answer: What about all those good things I did? You sinned

I could go on. But there is nothing you can do to cover up the sin in your life. The Bible says For all have sinned and fallen short. Jesus is the only way.

Will you accept Him as your Savior Today?

God loved you and so do I
