WEST CITY CHRISTIAN CENTRE (03. 01. 2009)

There is a church in Auckland called “West City Christian Centre” (at the Glendene Shopping Village) where the worshippers  are coming from 41 different countries.

I have not visited 41 countries in all my life. What a privilege to meet people there from 41 different  countries!

They have 3 services on Sunday: 9.00 am / 11.00 am / 6.00 pm

“Wise Men Still Seek Him”

 Today we had a long drive through the beautiful city of Auckland, New Zealand, from New Lynn to Mount Wellington. I noticed  a picture poster on the way going. I noticed a picture poster on the way coming back. The pictures were different, but the message was the same.

The message was, “WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM.”

Do you also belong to the wise men?

“FOCUS”

“Your Guide to finding out what to see and do from Kawakawa to The Cape.”

I am reading that just now on the front page of a publication.

I say,

“THE BIBLE”

YOUR GUIDE TO FINDING OUT WHAT THE MEANING TO LIFE IS ALL ABOUT.”

Is there no other solution?

” I find it terrible that the Christians are teaching that the Son of God had to die the horrible death on the cross. What a terrible God to demand such an offering. Was there no other way to reconcile us?”

A friend confronted Pastor W. Busch with that question when he was still a student. That question made Busch go for a long walk in the night to find an answer. Was there no other solution?

The Son of God, Jesus, had the same question. Read Matthew 26:39. But there was not a long explanation forthcoming, but the simple answer,”NO, there is NO other way!”

God is just and his justice demands the death of the sinner or the death of a substitute.

The Lord Jesus was willing to drink the cup and reconcile us with God. Let us be thankful for his love for us.

THE GOSPEL IS NOT DIFFICULT!

God is there!

We are sinners!
