MINISTER’S MESSAGE March 1, 2015 Privileged to Serve ARE YOU A CURIOUS PERSON? Would you consider yourself a curious person? Is having a curious mind a good thing to have? There is a Biblical story recorded for us in Luke 19 about a “wee little man” called Zacchaeus. Other than in Vacation Bible School, or our weekly Bible classes, we probably don’t spend much time thinking of Zacchaeus, BUT, that would be a mistake. Zacchaeus may have been a wee little man in stature, but don’t sell him SHORT. There’s a lot of good things we can learn from this man, one of which was his curiosity. That curiosity, you recall, caused him to run ahead of Jesus, climb that sycamore tree so that he could see his Lord. Friend, that curiosity of his brought salvation to his house. Yes, curiosity can certainly be a good thing. What about your curiosity? Does it spill over into your Christianity? You see, it is good to be curious about spiritual things. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul?: “Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good.” I Thessalonians 5:21. Jesus told the Jews to “Search the scriptures” John 5:39. He urged them to also be “Fruit inspectors” Matthew 7:15-20. What we learn here is that the Lord gave us eyes, ears, and brains for a reason. Curiosity leads to investigation, and truth is never hurt by investigation. Jesus said, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make your free.” John 8:32. When we become curious enough about Bible questions, we will search for Bible answers. We will become more like the Bereans we read of in Acts 17… “for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Curiosity is not something to be discouraged…it is a good quality to have. ….Charles *** Copies of sermons are available on CD upon request.
