Imagine All The People

Yesterday while I was at Acworth Beach for the fireworks show I was watching all the people. There were so many different kinds of people. Some were young, some were old. Some wore nice clothes, others not so nice. There were Americans, and there were other nationalities. Some where white, some where black. Some were poor, some were not. Some were rednecks, others not so much. But there is one thing they all have in common....that is, they are all searching for significance...a reason for living. Most of them are searching for it in all the wrong places...not even really realizing sometimes what it is they are trying to find. The only place they will ever find it is in a Person, that Person is Jesus. Some of them have dug themselves in deep pits trying to find significance....Jesus is their hope. Some have pursued it and they think they have achieved it....Jesus is there need. Regardless of their situation, social status, race, or creed they all stand in need of Jesus. As I looked across the park gazing at all the people...I thought of Freedom Church....I thought to myself...imagine all the people....all the people here and a whole lot more finding Freedom in Jesus...imagine....the possibilities of what God can do are beyond all that I can ask or imagine!

The Beatles wrote a song called Imagine....and it goes like this...

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

All that the Beatles sang about is only possible through a relationship with Jesus Christ...He is the only hope. I would say just as they did..."I hope someday you'll join us" as we take the hope of Jesus to a world perishing in darkness searching desperately for the hope only He can bring! Imagine if you did...Imagine ALL the people...
