In the 1989 movie, Field of Dreams, Kevin Costner portrays an Iowa farmer who hears voices and is led to build a baseball field in his corn field. An impossible project which jeopardized his financial future. In 1964, Gerald and Elena Smith moved to Eureka Springs, Arkansas (an off-the-beaten-track town of about 1500 people) and soon began envisioning a religious-themed project which grew into The Christ of The Ozarks statue, The Great Passion Play, three museums, a Holy Land Tour depicting various Biblical venues. They built it, passed the projects on, and in the years since nearly 8 million people have seen the Passion Play and many millions more the Christ statue.
Today we begin our new season under less than ideal circumstances. We will continue to tell the Gospel story, continue to build and build some more. If we keep the faith, listen to the call of God on our life, and build on the firm foundation we have been given, they will keep coming and the promise we have............. is...........HE WILL COME, as well.
AMEN. COME, LORD JESUS.
