THE BIBLE - OUR GUIDE

Well I am back in Welland, Ontario for Christmas and it is good to be home for a couple of weeks or more, depending on when the next work project begins out West.

Reading the Christmas story with Kris and Michelle and the kids last night reminded me once again of the great truth "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." May this life-transforming truth be your greatest experience and joy this Christmas.

In the cab of my rock truck, posted just above the sun visor, is this small yellow sticker.

 The triangle with the exclamation mark in it is the symbol for caution. On the right is the symbol of a book to represent the service manual for the truck (which is missing in my truck). The label is to be a constant reminder to take caution to look in the service manual if you do not know how to do something or if you need information on anything.

For me this symbol is a constant reminder of the importance of the Bible in my life for teaching, guidance, explanation, understanding, and correction. Without the Bible I would not know about the fall of man into sin, God sending a Savior in Jesus Christ, faith to become a new creation in Christ, and the hope of eternal life which is not a deceptive hope but the only true hope after death. How can we not worship God and rejoice in Christ Jesus, especially at this time of year when we are reminded of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Like the coming of Spring, eternity is right around the corner. May you live 2014 in the light of an eternal eternity.
