God's All-sufficient Grace!



We are all very sad that little Jennifer Cardy was so brutally murdered by Robert Black all those years ago, but are glad that he was found guilty of her murder last week in Armagh court. 

I heard the reports on the broadcast media, and I am sure many listeners could identify with the sentiments which were expressed by presenters about how the Cardy family handled that situation.

Many did indeed realise that the only reason why they could have handled their traumatic situation so well was because they were Christians, true Bible-based Christians, the only kind of Christians there are.

Many media people spoke of not being able to understand how they could have dealt with that situation so well and in so dignified a manner.

Well, the answer is, and I say this humbly and without any intention to insult anyone, but rather to help them, the answer is that people who do not possess the spiritual faculties that would have enabled them to do this, were simply mystified by their witness.  Without the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to understand this spiritual phenomenon.  Indeed, without the presence of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the Cardy family, they could not have come through this ordeal as they did.

The bottom line is that spiritually dead people cannot understand this kind of thing.  As Jesus said, “You must be born again,” (Jn.3:7).
