When the refugees landed on Lesbos, they were met by Christian volunteers,

offering food, clothing and shelter, and also sharing the Gospel (good news
about Jesus) with them.
When they heard the story of Jesus walking on the water (John 6:15-21), the little
girl cried out: “That’s the man who pulled me out of the water!” Her Muslim
parents dedicated their lives to Christ and went on to found a Farsi- speaking
church in Athens.

It goes to show that the One, who walked on water in Galilee, is alive today! The
Gospel is really true. There is nothing more inspiring or more important to consider
than Jesus dying for us all, taking the burden of our sins upon Himself, before rising
from the dead and giving eternal life to those who believe in Him. But the Gospel
that brings full forgiveness and new life, also requires a total commitment of our
lives to Jesus. It is more than signing up to a set of beliefs. It is leaving behind our
personal hopes and ambitions and living only for Him who gave His life for us.
(Mark 8:35)

Teacher: But no one knows what Jesus looks like.

“Why don’t you publish your sermons?” someone asked the parson

“Well, perhaps I will - posthumously,” he replied modestly
“O please do,” enthused the first – “And make it soon!”
