The Grands Letter

Dearest Grands,

John 1:29, “The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said,

‘Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”

Announcements always stir our emotions. If we are anticipating

something that comes true, we are joyfully excited! If we are

anticipating something that does not come true, we are devastated!

One instance comes to mind: As a young evangelist, I was invited

to conduct a crusade in the only Southern Baptist Church in Gary,

Indiana!! WOW! I was excited beyond what you would believe.

But, then came another announcement: for some reason I never

knew, the church rescinded the invitation. Announcements, good

or bad, always stir our emotions. ~ The announcement that John the

Baptist made was positive and has never been rescinded: Look and

Listen: this Man is the Son of God! What’s His activity? He’s here

to take away the sin that pollutes and drags us down! What’s the

extent of His activity? It includes the whole world! ~ An old song

comes to mind…

Look and live, my brother, live!

Look to Jesus now and live!

‘Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!

It is only that your look and live.

We are alive because of Jesus! Let’s keep sharing this Great

Announcement! Some folks have yet to hear and heed.

Love you all immensely,

Nana & Dado III
