Two young girls in Ukraine were playing their guitar and singing in a park,when they were killed by a Russian bomb.The mother of one of the girls said the following,' How is it possible in the 21st century to do something like this'. Cast your mind back to the last century consider the wars and evil that took place by civilizations,not ignorant savages,and yet such evil manifested itself,in the most cruel behaviour, why?. Well there is only one reason ,our sinful human nature, unrestrained its potential for evil knows no bounds.Think of what we did to our Saviour, beware of putting man on a pedestal,and I mean any man.So is it all bad news? no, there is the good news,we have experienced the grace of God through Jesus our Saviour , and that should make a difference.We are called the light of the world (Matthew 5 v14 )and we are told to let our light shine(5 v16),and if we do that we can make a difference.Firstly the world needs Jesus and we are called to tell them about Him,the gospel is good news,it is life changing if it is embraced people become better people Secondly, live and act like Jesus,after all He was the most loving person who ever lived,the world needs that love, we are called to show it.His was a generous love,he was continually pouring out that love ( John 11 v 36 ) Next His love was a sacrificial love,look on the cross,that speaks for itself.Yes we can make a difference,so let us do just that.
