From the Manse – March 2009

A great new banner decorates our King Street Hall.  It is the handiwork of Kirstie Brown.  It is a powerful reminder that in Christ we can never get lost.  How often we lose our own ways! Not even up-to-date satnavs can always gide us to the right place.  For instance on our satnav our home address does not even exist!  Or have you ever got lost sight of the truth?  Truth is like a straight line, no bends in it, no twists, just a straight line.  But in an age of spinning and weaving the truth they put so many angles on it that it becomes bigger than an octagon.  one can’t recognise the straight line any more.  So we get lost in life too, in our relationships, in our daily activities.

It is good to be reminded that in Christ we can’t get lost.  His whole earthly life, from the manger to the cross revealed the right way , brought the light of truth and offered eternal life for us.  So be encouraged, he came to find the lost, to find you too and to lead you back to the Father.
