BOB
Good morning. This is Bob Peden of Central United Methodist Church.
Our culture loves to rank things. Just take a look at all the top ten
lists that are published. There are lists ranking the best -- or worst
-- songs, movies, jobs, places to live, and things to see. We rank people
too. There are lists covering looks, bodies, popularity, effectiveness,
and abilities. It even happens when thinking about God.
We can always find someone we think is worse than us. It is as if
God is going to let people into heaven based on some kind of top ten
list where the goal is to be better than other people so that you make
the cut. And there is the problem. No one is good enough to live with
God forever. Not me. Not you. Not anyone. That is why God sent his son
Jesus to take away our sins. And that is why there are only two places
on God's list: those who trust Jesus, and those who do not.
Join us at Central as together we strive to trust Jesus more and more
each day.
