A Choice to Make!

We make choices every day throughout

life, sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

Hopefully we have learned from them.

The most important choice we will ever

make is regarding our eternal destiny.

God has created us with body and soul,

the physical and spiritual. We have been

created by God, and for God. However,

our sins have separated us from Him,

leaving us lost and ever searching for

something to fill the vacuum.

In Matthew’s Gospel chapter twenty-

seven verse twenty-two, we read about

Pilate who was a Roman of the eques-

trian or upper class order, and procura-

tor of Judea. He had a choice to make

regarding the Lord Jesus Christ, who

was accused of blasphemy by the

Sanhedrin, a Jewish Council and so-

called religious elite of the time.

Pilate asked Jesus if he was the King of

the Jews, which was affirmed by the

Lord. Pilate knew who Jesus was, but

because he wanted to please the

Roman authorities and appease the

crowd, his choice was shaped in the

light of time rather than eternity.

Pilate tried to have Jesus released due

to it being feast time when this was the

custom, when the governor could

release to the crowd the prisoner they

desired. The Roman imperial magistrate

could acquit a prisoner not yet

condemned, or pardon one already

condemned.

Pilate tried to evade his responsibility of

making the choice, by letting the crowd

make the choice between Jesus and

Barabbas, who was a murderer. He

expected Jesus to be freed, but the

crowd chose Barabbas.

Pilate asks what he should do with

Jesus, and the crowd cry, “crucify him.”

Pilate tried again to evade his responsi-

bility by washing his hands in a symbolic

way, declaring that he was innocent

regarding what would happen to Jesus.

The crowd shouted, “Let his blood be on

us”. He finally made his choice by

handing Jesus over to be flogged and

crucified.

Pilate had a choice to make in the

presence of Jesus, and we have a

choice to make regarding Jesus. We

either accept him as our Lord and

Saviour, or reject him, for neutral we

cannot be.

Pilate, like every person, will one day

bow the knee before Jesus, declaring

He is Lord. In time, he made the wrong

choice, with eternal consequences. The

Bible teaches of a lost eternity. It is not

God's will that any should perish.

Jesus loved us so much that He died on

Calvary, rose again, ascended to

heaven, so that our sins could be

forgiven and that we can receive the gift

of eternal life.

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of

God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our

Lord (Romans 6:23).

John MaCarthur said, “The choices of

time are binding in eternity.”

A choice to make! Let us make the right

one.

It was the First Minister that pointed out that,

technically at least, I was skiving. But then, so

was he! Last Wednesday, he and I were not at

Holyrood. We were in a meeting. He was in

California and I was in Inverness. The meeting

was a video conference, and the Inverness end of the confer-

ence, at which I was present, was held in Lifescan’s offices -

whilst Alex was north of San Francisco, at the offices of Johnson

and Johnson, the owners of Lifescan. The occasion was the an-

nouncement of the decision of Johnson and Johnson to locate

their global HQ for research and development in Inverness.

Lifescan, as SpotLight readers will know, makes products to

help those with diabetes manage their condition themselves.

The company are constantly seeking further to enhance their

products and this key crucial work will now be done in

Inverness.

In June, the Highlands welcomed his Holiness

Dalai Lama to Inverness. The event was one of

several public talks across the country to promote

the view that personal and global transformation

comes from the individual. I was extremely proud to

see so many folk turning out for the event at Eden Court. In

addition to the Dalai Lama’s visit this month, both houses of the

UK parliament were very fortunate to welcome the leader of the

Opposition in Burma, and recipient of the Nobel Peace prize,

Aung San Suu Kyi to the UK.

Dreamingof...

Jersey is the largest and most southerly of the Channel Islands, yet it is only nine miles by five miles. With the best sunshine in the British Isles and direct flights departing Inverness and Aberdeen from June to September, what could be easier?

Jersey has some of the best sandy beaches and bays in Britain. St Clements Bay offers beautiful stretches of fine sandy beaches and runs into Jersey’s capital, St Helier. The beach at St Ouen’s Bay stretches for five miles and is rarely crowded, and during the summer months this beach offers an array of water sports. St. Aubin’s Bay, is a stretch of beach from St Helier to the fishing port of St. Aubin. To its east stands Elizabeth Castle, a great historical site which is accessible either by foot at low tide or by the Castle ferry. The Castle has watched over Jersey’s seaway for over 300 years.One of the more popular beaches boasted by the island is St. Brelade’s Bay situated in a sheltered position on the south west of the island making it much warmer than some of the other bays.

Nestling off the Normandy coast and only a short ferry crossing from Jersey’s St Helier port is Guernsey, the second largest of the Channel Islands. St Peter Port, the island’s capital, is a bustling harbour full of restaurants and boutiques. Guernsey is situated 30 miles from the French Coast, and it benefits from a much milder climate than we do in the UK. It is a rambler’s paradise with an abundance of wild flowers growing in the mild climate, coastal paths, sweeping sandy bays and wide open beaches.

Don’t forget day trips are easily arranged to Jersey’s other neighbouring Islands-Herm, Sark & Alderney!

With both islands easily reached with direct flights from your local airport visitingJersey and Guernsey has never been easier.
