The Really Real

Fellow Labourers-

What is really real? If we travel the fourteen parishes of Jamaica we will find pockets of people that will describe for us a Jamaica that seems unreal to us. For some children playing in mud is fun, whilst for others it is unhygienic. As the old saying goes "one man's garbage is another man's meal." There are so many realities around us that we are not aware of, and when they are explained we sometimes find it hard to believe.

How many of us would have believed Jonah if he came and told us his story. Like the writer of today's article, I don't think Jonah was too aware of what was taking place between the ship and the land. Once back on land he was faced with a new reality, and that was the need to tell of the impending danger. He had one message to preach and it had nothing to do with his fish belly experience. Once we are jolted to reality our focus will be in the right place. A lot of Jamaicans are today living in fear whether real or imagined. Can we show them what's really real?" For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."St. John 3:16
