What Really Matters
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

Who would ever have thought that a mouse could force a modern airline
to transfer 42 passengers from one big jet airliner to another and
give the pilot and crew a sixteen-hour vacation?
Well, it happened in London recently. One of the “between flight” cleaners spotted a mouse on the New York-bound jet and reported it to his superiors, with the result that the 42 passengers were transferred to a plane leaving some hours later.
The British Overseas Airways Corporation said that they were doing this to de-infest and fumigate the plane. But — all this: de-infest and fumigate the giant plane because of one little mouse? or even a few little mice?
Isn’t it odd! They say a little mouse can scare a big elephant, and it isn’t too different with the human race. Comparatively little things tend to frighten us, while too often we hardly notice great dangers.

Let’s get down
to earth and be sensible and face the question our Lord asked in
Matt. 16:26: “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?” Let’s stop living for this life as if it
were never to end and for the next as if it were never to begin.
The Lord Jesus Christ died on Calvary to pay the penalty for our sins (I Cor. 15:3) so that we might be saved and sure of heaven. Why not trust in Him and receive “redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace” (Eph. 1:7).

God Saves Men
Believing

Believing
Christ DIED for YOU SINS and Rose again that’s SALVATION.
