Where on earth has man gone to
I called and called and no answer
Then finally from the shadows he crept
All disheveled and seeming a mess
He called and said, " I heard thy voice and I was afraid
For we are naked in our place."
What have you done , you foolish man?
You've eaten from the forbidden tree
That is why you hide from me.
Now sadness comes to my heart
For now my Son must die and take your part.
I had an unusual experience last week. I was coming out of the commissary with all my groceries and the bag boy looked extremely down cast. I asked how his day was going and he answered it was just going. I proceeded to ask him if he knew Christ and how much He loved him, and I asked if he had a Bible. He said it was in his car but he never reads it. So naturally I proceeded to tell him to read and study It's wonder changing Truths. I told him how special he is in God's eyes and that The God who made heaven and earth and every star and Galaxy sent His only Son to this planet to die for his sins and to redeem his life.
I told him that out of all the troubles he might have that The Lord could take care of it all, if he would get to know Christ of The Scriptures.
He shook my hand and began to smile. He thanked me and promised he would read The Bible. Needless to say I felt very good coming home, hoping I gave that young man hope. And that is the true need of us all, hope. Hope that makes not ashamed.
Hope in The One who saves us from a night that is so dark and deep that there is no coming back from.
Hope is one of the spiritual attributes of a true Christian who has a deep and abiding relationship with Christ. Hope gets us through hard and difficult places in our lives that pave the way for true love to blossom.
So much of the church has been given the wrong doctrine to embrace, that the true doctrine of death to oneself has been discarded.
Christ alone is the image that we are to look like when the end result is in, not a remake of ourselves, as the new doctrine of the modern church would have one believe. When the church got off the right path is not clear to me, I am only 66 and it must have been shortly before my birth or right after. There is no good thing in man that can ever bring about a change that will satisfy The Almighty. Only The blood of His Son, for in partaking of His blood it is The Tree of Life whereby a man or woman maybe cleansed and become a partaker of His Divine nature.
