BOR RAMBO
Hi! I'm Bob Rambo, Lead Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. Today is a day known to Methodists as “Aldersgate” Day. On this day in 1738, John Wesley, the leader of the
Methodist movement, had a life-changing experience with Jesus Christ while attending a Bible study on Aldersgate Street in London, England. Wesley would later write that “he felt
his heart strangely warmed” and that he “trusted in Christ and Christ alone.”
For the rest of his life, Wesley preached and taught about Jesus, calling people to turn from sin to right living, and teaching them how to live as children of God. One part of his
preaching and teaching was the emphasis on having a personal encounter with God. Wesley feared that if people ONLY went to church and never met God, they would have only a
“form of religion” but never experience God's life-changing power.
On the Aldersgate Day, how is it with YOUR soul? Have you met Jesus, the Risen Lord? Or does your faith consist of merely being a “religious” person? My hope and prayer for you
is that you will know Jesus and follow him.
Make it a GREAT day!
