This week the North of the country witnessed one of the most unlikely cover-ups of our time. It happened in a barley field outside the city of Bangor. Rihanna from Barbados, a singer with a good voice and possibly a better figure, was using both in the production of her latest video “We found Love”.  The farmer, a decent Christian man, who had already pulled their vehicle out of the mud and put down some straw to improve access to the field, was going about his business. The next thing to happen was a crowd gathered threatening to jam the adjacent motorway as people flocked to catch a glimpse of the now topless Rihanna prancing about in the barley. This was not what the farmer bargained for when he let them into his field and he got down from his tractor and told the pop star to cover herself up. He also told her, as he explained later to the media, that satisfaction in this life comes from putting your faith in Jesus Christ and his work on the cross. Rihanna, no doubt pleased with the free publicity the event had created for her, put on her clothes and resumed filming the next day in the New Lodge area of Belfast. What has the Bible to say about all this? God clothed our first parents and people have been taking them off ever since. The clothing only became necessary because of man’s rebellion of which undressing in public is a potent symbol. What makes this case unusual was not that a pop star undressed in public but that a Christian had the bottle to tell her to get dressed.  Indeed the farmer went further and in a very genuine and convincing way explained the Gospel to her. This certainly illustrated better than anything else the title of her song “We found Love” The love of God shown in Jesus had found the farmer and by His grace may find Rihanna and you also. There is no greater love and no greater gift. Its yours to receive. St John summarised it for us as follows: – “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” St John’s Gospel chapter 3 verse 16.
