More Than A Celebrity:
In the course of my life – I’ve had the honour and privilege to meet and speak to quite a few widely known and esteemed people, including: The Princess Royal, Sir Ian Botham – Beefy, Sir Bobby Charlton, David Coulthard, Nicky Gumbel, Johnny Herbert, Mika Häkkinen, Eddie Irvine, Michael Schumacher, Ralf Schumacher, Sir Jackie Stewart and others.
Of course;, not forgetting Sir Cliff Richard who invited me as his personal guest to one of his concerts.
Amazing!
As I reflect on these momentous occasions when meeting such celebrities:, I can recall a couple of eventful incidents:
One day I was in a queue at a taxi rank near Paddington station in London.
I was totally oblivious to the fact that I was standing right next to the designer of Princess Diana’s wedding dress:- David Emanuel.
It wasn’t until the lady behind me; repeatedly nudged me and whispered excitedly, “You know who that is don’t you?!”
Well; to be honest, I didn’t!
Anyhow: bearing in mind, I’m totally blind – how was I to know?
On a different occasion; my friend Colin phoned me up – his intention, was to enable me to speak to someone he had just met.
Without introducing the person to me, I found myself in full conversation with someone showing interest in my day and enlightening me with the fact that he also could play a musical instrument.
Extremely baffled by the brief conversation, I became even more intrigued when the person then said goodbye and hung up!!
A little while later my friend Colin called me back.
Full of Enthusiasm he declared, “Wasn’t that good?”
He continued, “I knew that you always wanted to meet him and because I saw him hear today I couldn’t resist the opportunity.”
I replied with some hesitation, “Yes; Colin, but who was he?”
After a searching pause…, “Damon Hill!!” came the astonished reply.
Well; how was I to know?!
Friend, meeting royalty, sports heroes, pop stars and the like can be quite an event in anyone’s life.
However, meeting Jesus beats them all!
Yes:, that’s right!
He is more than a celebrity.
He is the King of Kings, whose eternal majesty surpasses any earthly sovereign.
As Saviour of the World:, His plan of action, accomplishment and purpose out perform any champion.
Taking centre stage, He is the greatest star.
He exceeds them all!!
What an accolade!
Now listen!
When it comes to Jesus; His life, death and resurrection, there is more to say about Him, than anyone you would want to meet.
Oh yes!
Amen? Amen!
