ET

Just recently the evocative music from ET has been played together with comments as to the strong feelings it arouses. Perhaps compassion for a little stranger to our world?

Aren't we all strangers to our world at times, looking for a familiar face to whom we can turn? A mother standing at the gate of a new school, watching to see if her 'little stranger' finds a friend?

Was God not like that as He sent His one-and-only precious Son to a hostile world?

'Jesus came to His own and His own received him not.' Surely reason enough to turn away from us. Yet He didn't but went on to give His life in a most shameful way, being cursed in our place. Greater demonstration of God's love to us through His Son there cannot be '....while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us'.

'How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation'
