Bible Note: Amen, on the simplicity of Christ. Whenever we confound we place a burden on seekers who God came to illuminate and to bear their burden. God chose a simple plan of coming in the form of a simple man and telling a simple truth about His love and provision for us and desire to save us from the consequence and just judgment awaiting us. This simplicity or "foolishness" confounds the wise who seek to understand through their own faculty rather than through His grace and illumination which enables their faculty and without which the truth is not made visible. Amen, to the simplicity. If we discuss or disagree, let us first agree: God is. God is good. Man has sinned and been separated from God and His desire for us. Christ is God and came to save. There is life and redemption in Jesus. If we trust Him (believe in Him) and recognize Him as complete Lord of our life, we will and do have eternal life in HIm. He is with us and ministers through the person of the Holy Spirit (also part of the same God). He is entirely sufficient for our every need. He is coming again and will renew all creation. He is worthy of our praise and worship. We can, and do, delight in Him. Amen |
