This is not tragedy, this opportunity to select grace or the lake of burning testimony.  This is not some grand puzzle designed to confuse the minds of those with limited intellect.  This is the plan of a Loving Father, who set before us paradise at outset, and when we refused either by pride or disobedience, offered a secondary method of rescue.  This is His Glory personified in an offer so tremendous that it confounds the angels.  God loves us so much  that he prepared a method by a simple, logical choice we may inherit eternity and be joint heirs to all that Christ was promised.  These are not the idle whispering’s of a man who would be King, but the resolute, immutable promises of the King of Every Universe who wants us forever by his side.

Loving me thus, both humbles and honors my soul.  I was not cast aside as the simple man I see myself, but loved to the point of cleansing, forgiveness and to wear the robes of righteousness reserved for an unblemished King.  I was not wounded with stories of my insignificance, but set aside for power, in deed, word and living.  I was not forgotten, which is an easy human thing to do, but remembered and transformed and utilized to usher in the plan of glory for all mankind’s benefit.  I was and continue to be loved in a way that transcends my understanding of unconditional.  Though enemies look upon me in laughter, my King looks upon me and sees Christ, shining brighter than a billion suns.  I have been adopted into the family of the Most High God, this is not a thing of idle stories, but a miracle for all men to ponder.

This is not fantasy as the atheists are left without explanation, but to proclaim the God of Glory and myth, imagination or thought.  This is a holy God, who made everything and in that moment when we were created he designed a plan to deliver us from our own compunction to wander from authority.  That instant foretold our disobedience and prideful petulance.  Rather than doom us for all eternity, the Word spoke, offering men a choice of the payment rightly owed or reprieve through repentance and belief.  The foolish shadow beckons us ignore this as some folly, some historical nonsense or fable.  He shall be placed in shame by the same God who loves us so much he entered humanity to make fleshly payment for our trespasses.  No human king has offered his own life to save those he governs for this King is a Father who loves with that internal fire for His Children.  This is a shepherd who responds to the cry of each lamb, whether in trouble, indecision or grief.  This is the real stuff upon which man may stake forever, this is the greatest treasure of man.

So with clarion understanding I bid you make decision.  Make it now while the light remains bright in yonder sky.  For the darkness of night approaches, where all the chits are counted and if yours be not cast you will be counted as a nay.  Choose love, as he chose when we were first created.  Close your ears to this world, naysayers and your own corrupted heart.  Believe in something immovable, unshakable, unchanging the God who will always be.  This is no God to place upon your mantle, or rub his belly for good luck, or bottle for a wish.  This is a Holy and Righteous God so grand to look upon his countenance as a human we would die.  For the envelope of man’s spirit in this life has no contemplative capacity to contain the definition of a God so glorious, so grand, so Holy, so Pure.  But we shall know such things some day soon and it is my greatest hope that you join me on that Fine Day.  Praise you now and forever, Father in the name of Jesus.
