That is an easy question for me to answer. Especially because the celebration of his death and Resurrection are just a few short weeks away. And so in light of that, what is the answer to that question?
Well, let me tell you friends. It is this:
How crazy is to think that Jesus even existed, let alone died on a cross, and rose from that grave, and ascended to heaven to be with his Father? And is now preparing a place for those that believe on him.? Really?
Really?
Anyone that actually believes that fairy tale is just nuts, right? So I answer that question about whether those people are nuts or crazy with the same answer. Really?
Really?
But I would ask again.
Really?
But then, I would ask why? Why are people crazy if they believe in the life, death resurrection etc of Jesus Christ?
Why?
Why for goodness sake, is it any crazier to believe in Jesus, when there are so many that believe in false gods, are leaders in cults that teach people that they (the leaders) are Jesus Christ,or people trying to reach their dead loved ones during seances?
And then there are those that believe in aliens from outer space. I was watching a program last night about a man that is the head of a cult, and thinks that cats are the channel to which we get messages to and from the mother ship which is out in space. And he is the spokesman, I guess for the cats. Some nonsense like that anyway.
Why is that not crazy? Because really friends, it is. But there are people that follow that kind of stuff as well as many other outrageous teachings and don't think they are crazy.
But the teachings of Jesus Christ? Now that is really what is crazy. Right?
Wrong!
We are given a choice in this life, to live and believe what we will. I however, am glad to know the truth.
Jesus answered, "See to it that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, I am the Christ and will deceive many."
Look around friends. Have you seen it? That scripture was foretold by Jesus himself thousands of years ago, and as back then it holds true today. And no doubt to a greater degree with crazier teachings.
Even in some of the so-called Christian Churches, it goes on. The devil is infiltrating into places he should never be allowed, and getting away with it because we are not vigilant about it and not doing what Christ tells us to do in that scripture. See to it that no one deceives you.
Many people will believe a lie and for those that do not believe the truth, they will be dammed. 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12.
As for me.....
I choose to believe the truth. Jesus was born of a virgin. His ministry lasted for some 33 years on earth. At which time, the devil used the Roman Soldiers of the day to rip him away from the truth he was teaching because they thought that would end it. However, God had other plans that they were not to know until he arose from his death and burial.
I praise him that he has revealed the truth to those of us that want to know him. Because at the end of our lives, that is when our destiny becomes real. Heaven or Hell.
Which choice will/did you make?
Truth or Fiction.
It is up to you.
Thanks for stopping by today Friends. Have a blessed start to your new week!
