HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1985-04-03, Page 15Gift of love benefits everyone
How incongruous it is to realize that the
world was ed through the death of an
• innocent w o was condemned to die by
reltl�ialus tarts and political opportunists.
i Yet 1 be we examine the results of that
death ewe rvel at the gift of love that
glade 'it possible and at the benefit that
comes to an men.
If 'we were to ask ourselves the question,
"Could I ever. rove a person tothe point
where I would be prepared to lay down my
life for;him?" the majority of us would have
to answer, "No!". But there are certain ex-
ceptional people who might do it if the per-
son were attractively good.
Yet God's response to the human predica-
ment was to express His love in such a way
that it •,could never be misunderstood. He
told HIS Son, Jesus Christ, to lay down His
life while we were still his enemies as an un-
mistakable guarantee of His love for them.
Whether or not we recognize the gift doesn't
alter the fact of His love. Never again can it
be said that God does not desire our best in-
terests. After giving His best for the worst of
us, what more could He say or do? This
Eastertime we are left with a choice. Are we
to accept the crucifixion and death of Jesus
as a demonstration of God's love or are we
to reject it? -
Jesus' question to the first century
disciples has twentieth century relevance
for us. "Who do the people say that I am?"
(Luke 9: 18b) If our response to the question
is positive, "The Christ of" God," and we
believe it with our whole being, then God
will continue to pour His love out to us.
(Romans.8:38,39) If, on the other hand, we
reject God's love for us in Jesus Christ, then
we have decided against Him and since we
have denied Him, He will deny us. (2 Tim.
2:11-12)
In the bewildering complexity of living
life in the fast lane with many matters vying
for our attention; the upcoming provincial
election. the abortion issue, the threat of
nuclei- war and the ever pressing concerns
of interest rates, taxes and mortgages -
reflect for a moment this Eastertide that the
certainty of God's love for us is not given in
terms of a politicious rhetoric, but it is
clearly demonstrated in the action of His
Son.

After Five. Club features fashion
BY CAROLE STEPHENSON
The Goderich and District After 5 Club
held its March meeting at Saltford Valley
Hall with laughter as the gals modeled,
"Foolish Fashions for the special feature.
Phil Main Jr_ sang "Every Now and
,' Then" an original composition. He was ac-
companied by Arlene Darnbourgh.
Guest speaker Lyn Unsworth of Brantford
spoke on changes in life. Miserable from
guilt, she cried out to God who has promised
to listen to those in trouble. Claiming that
"we don't change positions, we change peo-
ple," Unsworth said that change had to
begin with her if there was to be peace in her
marriage.
She closed by hoping that God would not
be able to say to her, "Hello. I've watching
you for years and you haven't changed a
bit."
Marla Dykstra will continue as book
chairman and Isabelle Rittinger was named
tag chairman. The next meeting will be held
April 30 at Saltford Valley Hall at 7.30 p.m.
4-H offers rewarding
opportunities to many leaders
Are people "born leaders" or is leader-
ship a skill that anyone can develop? We
, think it is. a skill and participation in 4-H is
one of the best methods available to develop.
this skill:
Therefore, new for 1985 is the -4-H Leader-
ship Project. The • project will boost
members' confidence as they learn about
leadership styles, working with others and
public speaking.
Leaders' training workshops will be in
March, with the clubs organizing in early
April. If you are interested in leading this
•
club; or are between the ages of 12 and 21
years of age, and would like to join a
Leadership Club, call the Agricultural Of-
fice in Clinton.
