Truth For Our Times. Continued from part ten.

But imagine during the resurrection when those who have done much evil and have become hardened in sin come back. It would be almost impossible for such ones to prostrate themselves before Jesus, and in deep repentance acknowledge the wickedness they have done, and then in their future life come to walk in righteousness and holiness. I feel, most of these ones, who after every opportunity, will not accept Jesus as their Saviour, and would still choose to live as they have in their former lives.

All of the redeemed will, with gladness and thanksgiving accept Jesus as their personal Saviour, and will ever seek to do the will of our Heavenly Father. And what an example they would have in Jesus, who ever delighted to do the Father’s even offering Himself as a sin offering, so everyone who has ever lived has that chance to attain to everlasting life, either in heaven, or on this earth.

And we can think back to the time of Abraham who was going to offer up his only son Isaac as a sin offering, pictures the deep love the Heavenly Father has in offering up His beloved Son as a sin offering for the whole world.

But how obnoxious to the vast majority would those who still long for the old world of unrighteousness and sin, and there could be only one ending for them. As they haven’t accepted Jesus as their Saviour, they would still be living in sin, as without repentance and confession the precious blood of Jesus could not cleanse them. There could be only one place for such ones, and that is into the Second Death, which is eternal, where nothing is known, and from which there is no recovery.

And I beseech everyone reading this to be as kind, helpful and thoughtful of others, as it will make a big difference in the coming Kingdom Age. To be continued, April 27th A Carter

A large tower crane at the national centre for Biosecurity and Infectious Disease stands tall among the suburbia of Wallaceville. Erected in two days, the 28-metre high Liebherr crane can be seen across the city. The electric crane will be on site for 12 months as a new five-storey diagnostic laboratory at Ward St is completed. The crane has a 43-metre boom which can lift loads to 12 tonnes. It will move more than 440 tonnes of structural steel and 680 6959093AH cubic metres of concrete.

From statesmen such as John F Kennedy, to Richard Nixon’s downfall, and Barack Obama becoming the first African- American president, photographer David Burnett has been there to capture it. But he still remembers ‘‘the magic’’ of seeing a white piece of paper turn into a photograph when he was 16, working on his high school’s year book. ‘‘Seeing the image come up on the paper in the processing tray, that was a moment of alchemy and excitement, and one which has stayed with me for 50 years, ‘‘ he says. ‘‘I feel bad for the young generation of the digital age who see, perhaps, some magic in a phone camera screen, but it’s not the same magic.’’ After the first exciting photograph, albeit of the French Club, Burnett became interested in what could be done with pictures. Not only sharing them, in the ‘‘I feel bad for the young generation of the digital age who see, perhaps, some magic in a phone David Burnett took this photo of Barack Obama and wife Michelle at an icecream parlour when he spent a day with them in 2012. camera screen, but it’s not the same only to see that my best shot of evocative than in days gone by.

A tightly fought match between the two sides resulted in a last minute win for Upper Hutt. Both sides will be looking forward to meeting each other in the grading game on the 14th of May.
