Dear Church, 

Untold still Untold! 


“Christ is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world”   1 John 2:2 

Atheism is a sect that evolved from theism. It formed because of the loss of faith on something. They are not convinced about something, perhaps, the doctrines. They are looking for evidences claiming themselves as logical thinkers. The Word of God is the proof, but they want to visualize something before them. We, Christians need to become their proofs of evidence. On the other hand, the other faith communities struggle to accept Christianity. Mahatma Gandhi glimpsed Christ, but rejected Christianity. He was deeply hurt by his experiences with apartheid and “Christians” during his time in South Africa, and it obviously stymied his relationship with Christ. So, are we the ones who are blocking Christ from being seen by others? 

We read that “Christ came to save the whole world’. We hear that ‘Christ is the healer, not only for our sins but for the whole world’. We sing, ‘Lord, help me to love others as you have loved me’. Here, “the world” means people from any background, culture, faith, country, etc. How, then, do we embrace them? Do we treat Christ as if he belongs only to us? He is not to be possessed, but shared. 

We are now living at the end times. Our life on this earth is full of uncertainty, with no guarantee of tomorrow.  We need to we live with the understanding that today could be our last day on this earth and this thought should provoke us to do what is good and pleasing in the eyes of the Lord. 

Every natural disaster, political unrest, or act of terrorism stimulates the community to step through the doors of the church. They come searching for peace and guidance, often carrying wounded and heavy hearts. We may not know what is going on in their lives, but something has stirred them to come to church. The church must rejoice in receiving visitors and embrace them in the love of Christ. Christ in our midst will be our protector and we will be strengthened and guided as we welcome and engage with strangers. Let us remember that we, too, were  once strangers, and have now been adopted as God’s sons and daughters. It is a great opportunity to share Christ right at our doorstep even before we go out into the community! 

It is still untold, so we Christians need to awake and share the truth to the untold! 

God Bless, 
Amutha
