Have a Happy Labor Day!
Rest Well, do not even press the lift button as pressing a button is work!

John Haggai in his book tells about Dr Claude H Barlow, a missionary to China and one of the most revered foreigners to work in that land. A strange disease for which he knew no remedy was killing people. There were no research laboratories for this disease, so Dr Barlow conducted his own research. He studied the disease, filling a notebook with his observations. He then procured a vial of disease of terms and sailed for the United States. Before he arrived, he took the germs into his own body, and then went to the John Hopkins University Hospital to be observed. Claude Barlow was very sick now. He allowed his old professors at John Hopkins to use him for experimentation. A cure was found, which a healthy Claude Barlow took back to China with him. His efforts saved countless lives. When asked about the experience, Dr Barlow replied “Anyone would have done the same thing. I happened to be in a position of vantage and had the chance to offer my body.” I doubt that just anyone would have done that, don’t you? Only a person with a very special kind of love in his or her heart would make that kind of sacrifice. It is that very special kind of love proceeding from the heart of God that determined to make a supreme sacrifice so that you might be saved. Without that love we would all still be orphans in a strange and hostile universe. But that love does exist. It exists in the church – it exists among people around this earth who have had an encounter with Jesus.

The characteristic of the people of faith is:
The excitement of knowing Jesus Christ will lead us to a transformed life
This excitement will spur us on to want to share this story, the gospel of Jesus Christ with people around us
The love for one another
