Fellow Labourers-
I went to bed last night knowing that someone I know for over 30 years was lying on a hospital bed in the KPH suffering from gunshot wounds at the hands of men who do not know Christ. Men that maybe have never heard the gospel message. Then on my way to face the day I got a call from a member of the church saying her grandmother, mother and niece were held up and robbed by gunmen. What do we do when we hear these terrible news? Do we cower into retreat or do we stand up in the name of Jesus and fight for justice and peace in our nation?
In the process of reading today's article I glanced up at the ceiling in the room where I am reflecting from today. I saw an arrangement with vines and clusters of grapes hanging. From where I sat the grapes looked real, but my knowledge of where I am tells me they are not real. The situation around us is real, but from where I sit I see another side to the story. The eternal God is our refuge and strength. Therefore we will not fear, neither will we faint or fret. Let us arise children of God in our apostolic authority. Let us put on the whole armour of God. The fight is fixed. But greater is he that is in us than he that is in the world.
Pax Vobiscum,
Robert A. Stewart
