Jesus Christ told His disciples that He was the Light of the World. His disciples spread the word and for 2000 years the word has been passed down generation to generation and many have heard and believed and done what they can to preach Jesus and the Good News to those who will listen and follow. At The Great Passion Play we seek to be disciples and make disciples. I've blogged often about out stay here the past 5 months and the mission of staff and volunteers of TGPP. The Christ of the Ozarks Statue is a visible symbol of Jesus Christ and overlooks the city of Eureka Springs to our west. While many people can see the Statue and take pride in it as a "landmark" for area, there is still an element of the population which does not follow Jesus and His teachings or even know what He taught and modeled.
But this week, something different happened here. First, one of the non-functioning lights which illuminate the Statue at night was replaced and the Statue was more visible to those in Eureka Springs. This weekend, every motel and hotel room in Eureka was occupied as a major motorcycle event (Bikes, Blues & BBQ) took place in northwest Arkansas. While TGPP's Bikes, Bibles & BBQ did not attract a large number of participants, there were many bikers who rode onto the grounds from Thursday to today to see the Statue. We pray that seeds may have been planted, the Light of the World shined a little bit brighter to all who saw Him, that a friendly wave or a smiling face may have tweaked curiosity, and that sometime in the future, in God's timing and with His nurturing, the seeds will sprout and the harvest of saved souls will be reaped for God's Kingdom. Let us stay faithful, continue to pray for lost souls and preach The Good News of Jesus Christ in words and deeds. Our mission is not yet accomplished.
