Today my class was set the task of retelling an old folk tale about a wolf and a rabbit for a creative writing task.Basically,the wolf was lying helpless,with a big stone pinned to his back,when a rabbit came and somehow removed it.Then by way of thanks,the wolf decided he would eat the rabbit.A clever duck came to the rescue and you'll be pleased to know that the rabbit escaped to safety.
One little boy brought the story bang up to date and the rabbit was able to contact the duck on his mobile phone to let him know about the impending danger.Now,how clever was that?It was exactly the same story,but delivered with a modern twist,one which totally enthralled the children.
I'm reminded tonight,that we have a wonderful message to tell others.It's the message of the gospel.This message has never changed down through the ages,but it's up to us to deliver it in such a way that it is still appealing to people in 2008.This does not mean watering down the content,but simply being conscious of the audience we're reaching.Surely God deserves that we rise to this challenge!
