“ I love you, but die you  must” the Judge told him as he wiped  his horn framed glasses to distract him from the obvious downcast appearance.
“ Isnt there any other way, My Lord? There Must!” I replied.
“ The Law is Law.  And the Law has condemned you. Die you Must! “

“But… [sob] … “

His phone rings… He throws dignity to the wind and desperately looks for it…

“where is it?” he mumbles with a shaky voice..  “ah yes…

Hello? … Is it done…. Is he…. And has he….” He slowly places his Phone down stands up straight, puts his Horn framed glasses on… slowly turns to see me and opens His blood-shot eyes…
“Son, You are free to Go”

 

 

The season has been ridiculed and mocked, shamed and shredded by many. The story behind it even more so! Just the other day My unbelieving friend felt it upon his heart to reserve the right to shame the message of the cross and the Man with it.  To his credit, his intelligible reasoning about the matter, though short-lived due to obvious limitations in his “faith-ometer”, are always of strong nudging to the more perceptive of our kind. They cause us to ask the really good but tough questions.
Why do we believe? Why do we celebrate? For what reason did I choose to follow Christ? Am I really following Christ?

We can only hope that those we consider lost( my friend and his kind) will in some way use whatever gusto they have in the arsenal of their  intelligence, wit and scientific acumen to find the Truth we have only believed by faith.

 

We believe in a boundless, limitless and timeless God.  One out of whose breath came all life and beauty.  All Creatures in the heavens and on the earth, He created in complete glory out of his perfect Goodness.

           

We believe he Made man, gave him life, gave him dominion and gave him Love.  Man was the crowning splendor of his wondrous handiwork. Man was made perfect and lacking nothing.

But man grew a darkness in his heart, we believe. The Apex of creation was corrupted.
There was only one thing to do to restore creation. One thing to reset time;
Man with his corruption MUST DIE!

 

But the master of heaven, conflicted by the his nature would not… could not…
It is said that He tried… Many times… But simply could not.
How could he? How could perfect Justice rival perfect Love? How could a loving God execute Judgment so severely and yet rightly!
From the Crevices of an unknown time… in darkness so grave it consumed life…
The Celestial King devised the greatest of antidotes. Himself!

Why? To reverse the most terminal of human disease! SIN!

It’s been asked.  What Happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force?

I ask now. What happens when Perfect Justice meets Boundless Love?

The Answer: J.E.S.U.S.
