2 Man-Made Mankind is a remarkable creation. Made in the image of God, the human race has changed the world around them. They have created great cities, put a man on the moon, constructed highway systems, communication systems, and economic systems. They have made it possible to gaze upon the smallness of molecules and observe the deepness of space. It is no wonder that God would look upon His creation and claim, “It is VERY good.” The Bible, however, tells us that the heavens and earth at sometime in the future will be destroyed and replaced by a new heaven and new earth. Every great structure or accomplishment of man will vanish and not a single atom will find its way into eternity. Man, however, will not be left without a legacy. His one achievement that will be in clear view forever will be the wounds on the body of Jesus. In a new universe void of sin, we will be reminded of what we were. Without any concern or respect for our Creator, we hung Him on a cross. We rejected His Laws, we rejected His Nature, and if that wasn’t enough, we served His enemy! However, those wounds will not just tell of our former nature but also the Great Love God had bestowed towards us. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8. “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” Phil. 2:8. “For the transgressions of My people He was stricken” Isaiah 53:8. Though the wounds of Christ will always be a reminder of the depths of our sin, they will also be an assurance of the depths of God’s Love towards us. “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!” (1 John 3:1). Each one of us will receive a new body fit for eternity. We will live in a perfect universe, perfectly serving a perfect Savior. There will be no tears, no hostilities, no wars, no sin, and no death. Yet among all this “perfection” the most beautiful things will be the wounds that paid the price for our Salvation. The wounds won’t be beautiful because we made them, but because Jesus bore them!

According to a recent poll of 800 Alaskans, completed by the Dittman Corporation, (the week of March 13-14) resulted in strong public support for School Choice (56-36%). Alaskans support placing a constitutional amendment on the 2014 ballot that would allow parents to choose the right school for their child and allow public funds to follow the child. Additionally, by a 2-1 margin, Alaskans believe that school choice will create a healthy competition that will improve overall performance of Alaska schools. Dittman’s poll has a 3.4-percent margin of error and all regions of the state were represented and balanced to the 2010 Census. Contact all of the Alaska State Legislators and encourage them to allow voters to vote on this change and clarification to Alaska’s constitution. Refer to the bill numbers: HJR1 and SJR9. You can search the State of Alaska website to read the wording in each proposed bill. To write or call Alaska State Senators, go to: http://senate.legis.state.ak.us/.
