Gnat Again!.

Spring was breaking in, the sun was breaking out, the

dull grey clouds were parting, and it was time. There

was no better moment.

Armed with paint roller, paintbrush, and a large tub

of weathershield, I began the arduous task of painting

an outside wall. After a while I stood back to admire it and it looked good.

But there were one or two snags.  Very tiny snags.  In fact, there were hundreds of them.

To my dismay a gnat landed on my paint and was stuck fast! What a bad decision! His tiny legs were stuck fast in the paintwork forever. His fate sealed. Soon after, another gnat, then another, then another followed suit, hurling themselves at my wall and coming to a very sticky end. My wall was speckled!

If only other gnats caught in this sticky snare had warned others to stay clear from this danger, thousands of gnat-lives could have been saved!

Jesus told the parable of a rich man who died and found himself in torment, whilst the beggar Lazarus was carried to heaven. He longed to warn his brothers:

‘I have five brothers, let Lazarus warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Lk 16:27

Abraham replied: “If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.”  

 Jesus rose from the dead to save us from such a fate, but sadly so many fail to be convinced despite the resurrection.   Today let’s believe it and embrace it with joy!  God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jn 3:16
