It happens almost automatically that I look into the shop windows. It happened again today. The shopwindow was the window of a pharmacy. There was a poster and on the poster it said: ALL YOU NEED IS LEMSIP MAX

It carried on like this: Cold and flu with decongestant capsules.

Headaches and fever/Blocked and runny Nose/Body pains and Aches/Sore Throat/Non -drowsy

Very interesting, I thought. Where had I read that before ? All you need is….. I think it was some time ago where they are selling the New Zealand Herald. I went straight to the place here in town where they are selling the paper. But I could not find All you need is the Herald. All I read was There is a lot more to it. Whatever it may be, all you need is a catchphrase! Most of the time.

I told you a little bit more about Lemsip. But I don’t need to tell you what is written in the newspapers. You have read that probably this morning yourself or you are still going to read about it. More bad news than good news for sure. And then I remembered that I had heard that before. All you need…………….

It was in the heart of London many years ago. The house was in SE London in Upper Norwood and it happened in the house number 19 on Highland Road. I was there to brush up my english. The reason why I remember so well is probably that that was a very interesting and exciting time for me in he UK.

The Telephone booth was right at the door of the main entrance and when I passed the booth one day I heard a voice coming from the booth without eavesdropping saying All you need is Jesus. Yes , it was a Mission house and somebody rang for help.The voice in the booth I recognized as the voice of an old missionary who had been in Congo for 40 years and who had seen revival there. We need many things, but most of all we need the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal Saviour. That is really Good News!

In order to stand before God, the Father, we need the righteousness of Jesus. Otherwise we cannot stand before God and everybody will stand before God, the Father one of these days.

Many years ago in Germany, when I was a young Christian we had the Janz Team doing evangelistic outreaches all over the country and one message from Leo Janz was Saviour or Judge? Will God be your Saviour or your Judge one of these days?

Come, and believe in the Lord and escape eternal punishment.
