September Deacons The Week of:
September 4th Richard Russelburg & Shane Eans
September 11th Bob Smith & Jason Link
September 18th David Rice & Darrell Gillispie
September 25th James Nichols
The boss of a big company needed to call one of
his employees about an urgent problem with one of the
main computers. He dialed the employee’s home
telephone number and was greeted with a child’s
whispered, "Hello?"
Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to
talk to a youngster, the boss asked, "Is your Daddy
home?" "Yes," whispered the small voice. "May I talk
with him?" the man asked. To the surprise of the boss, the
small voice whispered, "No."
Wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, "Is
your Mommy there?" "Yes," came the answer. "May I talk
with her?" Again, the small voice whispered, "No."
Knowing that it was not likely that a young child
would be left home alone, the boss decided he would just
leave a message with the person who should be there
watching over the child. "Is there anyone there besides
you?" the boss asked the child. "Yes," whispered the child,
"a policeman."
Wondering what a cop would be doing at his
employee’s home, the boss asked, "May I speak with the
policeman?" "No, he is busy," whispered the child. "Busy
doing what?" asked the boss. "Talking to Daddy and
Mommy and the Fireman," came the whispered answer.
"What is going on there?" asked the boss, now
alarmed. In an awed whispering voice, the child
answered, "The search team just landed the hello-copper!"
Alarmed, concerned and more than just a little frustrated,
the boss asked, "Why are they there?" Still whispering,
the young voice replied (along with a muffled giggle),
"They are looking for me!"
In his book The No-Guilt Guide for Witnessing,
George Sweeting tells of a man by the name of John
Currier who in 1949 was found guilty of murder and
sentenced to life in prison. Later he was transferred and
paroled to work on a farm near Nashville, TN.
In 1968, Currier’s sentence was terminated and a
letter bearing the good news was sent to him. But John
never saw the letter, nor was he told anything about it.
Life on that farm was hard and without promise for the
future. Yet John kept doing what he was told even after
the farmer for whom he worked had died.
Ten years went by. Then a state parole officer
learned about Currier’s plight, found him, and told him
that his sentence had been terminated. He was a free man.
Sweeting concluded that story by asking, “Would
it matter to you if someone sent you an important
message—the most important in your life—and year after
year the urgent message was never delivered?”
We who have heard the good news and
experienced freedom through Christ are responsible to
proclaim it to others still enslaved by sin. Are we doing all
we can to make sure that people get the message? We
must diligently search for those who are outside Christ,
just like those who would go to great lengths to find a
missing child!
The Great Commandment teaches us to "Love the
LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the
first commandment. And the second like it is this: You
shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other
commandment greater than these."(Mark 12:30-31)
Think about it, Jeff
