Kicking off the "Stand" series, Sean Conry spoke tonight on what could be considered "the basics". Who is going to love you and care for you just the way you are, no matter what? Christ Alone. It seems so simple, and yet at the same time, we struggle to believe the truth of it.
Using the characters from "What do People do all Day?" by Richard Scarry, Sean introduced us to Smokey the Fire-pig. Smokey seemed to be the answer to our question. He was waiting for the call to save, he was ready to jump in, he didn't have any provisos about who he would save: he just saved them. Is Smokey the Fire-pig really our saviour though?
Jesus' Advantages Over Smokey the Fire-pig:- He is real
- He loves us as we are
- He comes to us
- He has already done the hard work to save us
- He is never "over" waiting for you
- He is with you for the long haul!
