The true church tells world about Jesus
BY REV. VIC JAMIESON
BRUSSELS-BELGRAVE
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
All of us in the church need to ask
ourselves: Who are we and what
are we to do? In Peter 1:9-10 we
read that Christians “are the
Karla King speaks
to Melville WMS
On May 19,16 members and two
visitors met in the church parlour
for the monthly meeting of Melville
Guild.
Jean Bewley and Margaret
Sweeney conducted the worship
service with hymns, prayer and
scripture from Acts 3: 22-26. Jean
read a message on “listening”.
According to your faith, she said,
listen. We need to listen with care
and find value in the speaker’s
words thus nurturing a climate of
understanding. If we were intend
ed to speak more than we listen
we’d have been given two mouths
and one ear

Margaret introduced Karla
King who was runner-up at the
provincial public speaking contest
held in Kingston on May 2 and
sponsored by the Royal Canadian
Legion. Karla spoke on “Emo
tions” and it was quite apparent
why she had won at the local, zone
and area levels. She spoke with
enthusiasm and conviction advis
ing that we make control of our
emotions a lifetime goal.
In her role as president, Jean
Bewley continued with business
for the evening, the main topic
being the Maytime Supper. Tick
ets are available from all members
of the Guild for May 27.

people; at one time you did not
knowGod’s mercy, but nowyou
have received his mercy.” The
responsibility to fulfill His calling
belongs to every true Christian,
not just clergv people.
All are called by the Holy Spirit,
have the Holy Spirit within them
selves, and are equipped by the
Holy Spirit through his Word to
fulfill th at calling. We are to “live a
life that measures up to the
standard God set when he called
us. Be always humble, gentle and
patient. Show your love by being
tolerant with one another. Do your
best to preserve the unity which the
Spirit gives by means of the pace
that binds you together. Humility,
patience, love, unity and peace are
the true marks of Jesus. We who
are Christians ought to witness to
the world in such terms. We all
need to realize that we cannot
change the world by our might or
power but by the Holy Spirit at
work in us according to Zechariah
4: 6.
We need to tell the world that
“God puts people right through
their faith in Jesus Christ. God
does this to all who believe in
Christ, because there is no differ
ence at all: everyone has sinned

God’s grace all are put right with

them free.” (Romans 3: 21-24).
Ephesians 2: 8-9 teaches anoth
er valuable point: “For it is by
God’s grace that you have been
savedthroughfaith. Itisnotthe
result of your own efforts, but
God’s gift, so that no one can boast
aboutit.” Some people claim to
have faith in Jesus Christ but their
lives don’t reflect Christ’s charac

with God and not by his faith
alone.”
Some bottom lines of witness
are: Jesus said: “I am the way, the
truth and the life, no one comes to
the Father except by me.” (John
14: 6).
Acts 4: 12 underlines this
message: * ‘ Salvation is to be found
through him alone; in all the world
there is no one else whom God has
given who can save us.”
May we be enabled by the Holy
Spirit to truly tell the world about
Jesus in all we say and do - thus
being who we are to be and doing
what we are to do.
