Here comes Santa, here comes Santa! If you have your own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or any other children ,then you may well have heard these cries already and if not I’m sure you will shortly. For us adults, however, Christmas also gives us the opportunity to figuratively “open up the door” to a neigbour or acquaintance and offer a hand of friendship putting disagreements behind us.

Words by the Wayside "But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before The Lord exceedingly." (Gen 13:13)
Reader, For one sin in the garden of Eden Adam and Eve were separated and cast out from the presence of God. The Bible says that fools make fun of sin. They don't realise that God is Holy and Righteous and sin cannot dwell with Him, and Hell is prepared for sinners. God is also Love, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; Christ died for the ungodly. Reader, the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Do you know God's gift? www.wordsbythewayside.co.uk Registered Scottish charity SC041290

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS Jesus is worth giving up everything else for... Some Scots will be disappointed that this St. Andrew’s Day is not the first one being celebrated in a new, independent Scotland. Others will be glad that this St. Andrew’s Day, as before, is being celebrated in a Scotland that remains part of the Union. In my far-flung school-days it was a public holiday and, therefore, a great reason to celebrate as far as me and my holidayloving cronies were concerned! Who cared whether it was an odd time of year for a holiday? A day off school made us Andrew fans, whatever he and his day were all about! Older and wiser, I grew up taking more interest in cultural things and I must have heard the stories about how St. Andrews in Fife got named and how some of the great man’s bones had once arrived there and how some of them were maybe still lying in Edinburgh and about how he’d been crucified on an X-shaped cross so as to be slightly different from Jesus, whom he felt unworthy to imitate and about how the Picts claimed to have seen a cloud formation as a white cross against a blue sky the day before a great battle-victory, hence our adoption of the symbol on the flag to this
day. I have no idea how much truth there is in any of these legends, but they’re interesting old stories anyway! What I definitely do believe is the Bible’s account of Andrew, the man who became one of Jesus’ twelve disciples long before any of these other tales got started. He only gets mentioned about twelve times in the Gospel stories, most of which are fairly minor references like when the twelve disciples get listed by name. But the other references are much more significant. Once we find him and three others asking Jesus theological questions (Mark 13:3) – it’s always good to want to know more about the Bible and about the things of God.
Like Andrew, we never know true meaning and purpose in life until we find Jesus, the Messiah and come to know Him as our own Lord and Saviour. And, like Andrew, our calling doesn’t stop there, but continues with the wonderful privilege of helping others to come to meet and know Jesus too.
Once is the story of how Andrew came to be a disciple of Jesus - intrigued by Jesus’ character and teaching (John 1:39) he begins to follow him around, eventually giving up his fishing to be a full-time helper and learner and one of Jesus’ closest companions. He effectively reminds us that Jesus is worth giving up everything else for and how those who do so are never the losers - either in this life or the next.
If this little article can help anybody at all to begin to make the greatest of all discoveries, I’ll be thrilled and humbled to be a little bit of an Andrew as well and will be thankful to God again for using this obscure Middle Eastern fisherman in such a prominent way in Scotland’s national identity.
But, perhaps, his loveliest legacy is the three times we find him bringing other

people to Jesus. In John 1:41 it’s his brother Peter whom he tells, ‘We have found the Messiah’. In John 6:8 it’s Andrew who finds the boy with the five loaves and two fishes and brings him to Jesus, which results in the miracle we know as ‘The Feeding of the 5000’. And in John 12:22, when some travelling Greeks say, ‘we would like to see Jesus’, it’s Andrew who brings them to meet the Master.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES At the time I write this blog, I am Minister for Energy, Enterprise and Tourism in the Scottish Government. By the time you read it, I hope that I still hold the post which is one of the most absorbing in the country! But of course the decision of choice of Ministers is that of the First Minister, and Nicola Sturgeon will now be Scotland's first female First Minister. She will rightly bring her own style and character to the post, and whomsoever she picks for her team, I will support her. In the words of the song: Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be. Whatever her decision, I will continue in my prime responsibility as the MSP for Inverness and Nairn, and to do my best to help people who need my assistance, whether by e mail, phone or at one of my three monthly surgeries in Grantown on Spey, Nairn and Inverness. One of the things about my party is that we are a strong and united team - united by a shared vision of Scotland running her own affairs, and doing our best to do good for people in Scotland. Fergus Ewing MSP
2014 has been quite a year. It seems like only yesterday I was writing in these pages while thinking about the momentous year we had before us just twelve months ago. So a year on, how far have we come? Seeing our economic recovery take root and having more people in work than ever before has been very encouraging. There is more work to do, but 2014 has been a record breaking year for employment and opportunity. And the historic Scottish Referendum has inspired more political engagement, and has inspired more, much needed, powers for Scotland. I’m sure that the coming year will bring new challenges for all of us, but we will face them as we always do – with strength and community spirit. As always, please don’t hesitate to get in touch if I can help you with any problems, address any issues or answer any questions. I’m always happy to help. I’d like to wish everyone in Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch & Strathspey a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.
