PLEASE TURN TO THE PAGE AND READ! I did it just now!

Here is one tweet:

“Leaders must have a way to deal with the pressure of leadership or it has a potential of destroying them.”

Have you ever heard that sentence?

I have those words actually here before me. I found them on one of the pages of the Westpac Investor Update Spring 2009.

There is a table showing the effect that compounding returns can have on a saving plan. And above that saving plan is written “SEEING IS BELIEVING”.

In John 20:24-29 The Lord Jesus Christ appears to doubting Thomas, who does not want to believe. Thomas is also called Didymus. Both names mean “TWIN”.

In John 20:29 the Lord Jesus Christ says to Thomas, “Because you have seen me, you have believed.”

And then the Lord continues in the same verse:

“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND YET HAVE BELIEVED.”

Let us also turn to First Peter 1:8,9

“…; and even though you do not see him now,

— you believe in him and are

— filled with inexpressible and glorious joy,

— for you are receiving the goal of your faith,

— the salvation of your souls.”

When I saw the local Honda Shop again today on my way to town I was attracted by the sign that said:

“WE PUT YOU FIRST. YOU PUT US FIRST. AGAIN.”

What I read there reminded me of a well known verse from the Bible, the Word of the Living God.

What I read there was actually a letter from the Managing Director of  Honda New Zealand to his customers: “We would like to thank all our customers for voting for us in the AA/JD Power Customer Satisfaction Award, which we’ve been fortunate enough to win for the third time.”

And here is the Bible verse mentioned earlier:

“BUT SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU AS WELL.”

Matthew 6:33

Do I need to say more? NO!

“In many respects I find an unresurrected Jesus easier to accept. Easter makes him dangerous. Because of Easter I have to listen to his extravagant claims and can no longer pick and chose from his sayings.  Moreover, Easter means he must be loose out there somewhere.”
