“‘LIFE OVER EVERYTHING'”

“‘Life over everything,'” is the motto of a youth group here in Kaitaia. I am reading that in the article called “Group aims to help our youth cope”. (Northern News, April 8, 2015)

Young people have problems. Youth find it difficult to cope. I can understand that, because I have been young myself many years ago. The aim of the youth group, called The Far North Raiders, is to help young people.

“Bullying” is highlighted and other things that can damage lives are mentioned as well.

Nineteen people committed suicide in 2012 in our area and they were under the age of 25.

This is the closing paragraph of the article, “‘The bullying policies aren’t working for the kids at the moment. We’re going to sit together and nut out the best anti-bullying policy.'”

The world’s most read book tells us that the Lord Jesus Christ is the “LIFE”.

The Bible is the world’s most read book and you find that the Lord Jesus Christ says in the Bible that he is the “LIFE” in John 11:25 and in John 14:6.

That is the gospel of John.
