Our role...

I receive daily Bible readings with comments from One Way Creative Ministries. They arrive straight to my inbox every morning. Their website is http://www.onewayuk.com/. It's a great place to find puppet-related ideas, scripts and accessories, not to mention resources for mime, clowning, and drama. Below is an excerpt from today's Bible reading notes which I'd like to share. None of what follows is my own words. I just did the bold bits. It begins with the Bible, leads into a summary, and finishes with a description of the role every Christian is called to fulfil.

The return of Jesus #3 21st Aug 2008


"And then at last, the sign of the coming of the Son of Man will appear in the heavens, and there will be deep mourning among all the nations of the earth. And they will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send forth his angels with the sound of a mighty trumpet blast, and they will gather together his chosen ones from the farthest ends of the earth and heaven."
Matthew 24: 30 & 31

...It is God's heart that everybody should get to hear the good news about Jesus and have the opportunity to believe in Him. The Bible tells us that God doesn't want anybody to perish but He will respect their free will to make the decision for themselves. Our role is to help spread the good news.
