A Door...

 

Would you open the door if someone shouted shouted, "Open up in the name of the law"? So why in God's name is a way, a light, and a door being ignored among men? Why has Jesus' call to Salvation and the gift of eternal life beyond the grave gone unheard? Is it because time has forgotten it's creator or has humanity gone Godless and giftless beyond the ability to consider any life beyond death?

Ask them. "Is it beyond the shadow of a doubt there was no Creator"? If they are not sure even that there is no possibility God created the Heavens and the Earth and the deed poetically rendered by the Jewish scribe then who are you to be certain religion has no value but madness? Can the good doctor say there is no God or spiritual reality except for mentally disordered people hallucinating and delusional?

If someone told you they were seeing stars before their eyes you may advise them to see a doctor. If they were looking up at the night sky should we do the same? Is it disorderly to see creation day and night or to see a godless, giftless reality? Just because you can look at a picture a thousand different ways does not mean their is no artists work in view.

What do you see when you look at the sky? Is it too vast to have been created? Is it too many pieces made out of to believe it was created? Or is it just the right size and right number of parts to say oh God how great thou art! Imagine it. If Sir Isaac Newton was right humanity has learned so much of creation's mysteries we can truly acclaim if it is creation even by visualization it is a godlike vision. A wonder to behold!

So next time you see a temple, church, mosgue or synagog think about it. Are they delusional to believe in a God creator and give thanks, praise, and worship together or are the godless, giftless people the nuts not caring about their spiritual side and eternity? Even if the odds were only fifty fifty the reality we share was created wouldn't a little investment of time to find out be worth it? After all the creator is a living invisible God that is everywhere. It is said he can do wonders...  

An Easter Reflection

 

What if he has risen? What if Jesus rose from the dead all those centuries ago? What if he is seated at the right hand of God the Father? What if he is King, Lord, God, and Saviour? What if the Bible is all true, just hardly understood? Consider Genesis as a poetic rendering of God creating. Consider the Ten Commandments as tokens of Love. Consider the Jewish legal cannon as their national law. Consider Jewish History and the Prophets as educational. Consider Psalms and the book of Job, Proverbs, and the Wisdom literature as teaching tools. What of the Old Testament is so controversial now?

If Christ is King, Lord, God, and Saviour, do you respect and revere him enough? Do you love him enough? Do you want him in your life enough? Do you seek him enough if you do not yet know him? Have you established a face-to-face relationship yet with God? Do you know if there is a God Creator? If there is a living God, he can surely show you too he is!

If Jesus is God, born among his creation, died as an atoning sacrifice, and rose from the dead do you pay attention enough to his words? Do you try to understand his teachings? Do you want to know what of anything he taught is applicable today? Do you seek to understand how to follow him in our fast-paced modern world? Do you accept his gift of the Spirit to help you understand all the words he spoke?

If Christ is the Saviour from a sinful death, do you accept the gift of eternal life? Can you believe he forgives even you your sins? Can you believe as some people would not swat a mosquito feeding on their leg, he can indulge you? Can you believe there is a God? With all the suffering in the world, death, disease, crime, war, and everything else, can you believe God Creator is a theater artist that the above is only the elements of dramas, tragedies, great catharsis theater for the eternal life blessed?

If you are the least bit hesitant to believe in God Creator or find you have no faith in Divine Theater or the offered Salvation from sin and death and would like to believe and receive eternal life, just ask God to show you he is and wants you too forever in his loving embrace. Ask God to show you he is not just a three-letter word...
