THE WYLIE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE PRESENTS...
Good News !
This week's guest writer is Rev. A.L Draper,
pastor of First Baptist Church of Wylie and a
member of the Wylie Ministerial Alliance.
Time served
Do you sometimes feel that the weight of the
world rests upon your shoulders? The writer of
the book of Hebrews has a word for you. Take
heart: “For consider Him (Christ) who endured such hostility from sin-
ners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your
souls." [Hebrews 12:3]
Jesus never distinguished between those who are deserving and those
who are undeserving. These were not categories for His consideration.
None of us are worthy, and yet we are all worthy: God’s grace goes out
to all.
In 1949, a man by the name of John Currier was sentenced to life in
prison. He could not read or write. He was later transferred from prison
and paroled to work for a wealthy farmer. In 1968, Currier’s sentence
ended. The records of the Department of Corrections show that a letter
was written to the convict and to the fanner informing them that the sen-
tence nau oeen satisfied, hut Cuiiici never saw the letter or knew that it
existed.
A year went by, then two, five, and finally 10. By this time the farmer had
died, but Currier kept working, serving out his sentence on an allowance
of $5 per week, living in a dilapidated trailer with a horse trough for a
bath and a garden hose for a shower stall.
Not until the 1980s did a suite parole officer leant of Currier’s plight and
tell him of the missing letter. Currier lost more than 10 years of his life
because he failed to get the message dial he had been freed.
How many of us are losing years of our life to despair and worry because
we haven’t heard... "You are free in Christ! You tire free!” That is die
