The revolutionary leader Fidel Castro passed away this weekend after leading Cuba for almost 50 years as prime minister and president. He made a statement of intent at the beginning of his reign, "I am Fidel Castro and I have come to liberate Cuba!" Over the next 50 years he never lost sight of that goal. Jesus also made a statement of intent in his ministry, " the Son of Man came to seek and safe the lost!" He has not lost sight of that goal over the last 2000 years. Now his Cause has become the cause of the local church. This mornings sermon encourages us to become active in the great gospel cause.
