It just isn’t over!
Rev Nadim Nassar, a Syrian Anglican priest recently was quoted as saying “Christianity is vanishing in the Middle East.”
The evil of ISIS and their partners has been traumatically painful and we are all praying for their fall to be as quick as their rising. Will we witness in our lifetime the eradication of Christianity in the Biblical region of the world as Rev Nassar suggests?
In the UK it could appear that Christianity is also vanishing. Dr John Sentanu in his Easter Sunday sermon a few years ago told of how nearly a third of British children thought that Easter marked the birth of the Easter bunny and that over half didn’t know the Easter story.
Today is Easter Sunday and I know Jesus was dead but that He came back to life and is alive today. He was gone but then He came back.
With this in mind I also know that no matter what dies it can live again. If Christianity vanishes it can re-appear. If knowledge of the truth dissipates it can be regained.
I also know whatever you have:
Lost can be found
Has been stolen can be given back
Whatever has:
Gone wrong can be put right.
Been defeated can become successful.
You see, it is just not over till it’s over and we never get to say it is over!
There is still time in your life, there is still today.
Jesus is Alive!
