Let's see now. God decides to meet humanity as a friend. So
he comes here and heals everyone that he meets that is sick, blind, paralyzed, and
deaf. While he is here there is no war anywhere on the planet. Peace is
everywhere for the first and only time in the history of humanity. Despite our
vices, he offers to forgive anything that we may have done. He also foregoes
any form of physical retribution to anyone that harms him. So the political
authorities decide that his healing of people is out of control and that God
should limit his loving miracles of healing to certain days of the week. He
continues an outpouring of love that has never been seen before or since and
multitudes come to him to be healed. He even raises the dead back to life. Then
humanity exerts its right to have its own beliefs and its own political
authority. Since he has defied the political authorities and continued to love
everyday and not just on certain days as proscribed by the political
authorities they have a trial with a foregone conclusion. Then the political
authorities have him executed to prevent him from loving humanity on all seven
days of the week since the authorities don't condone that kind of behavior.
Then he rises from the dead and offers immortality to all that want to follow
him in his mission of love. Then starting with a dozen followers those who love
him spread hospitals, homeless shelters, food lines across the globe.
Of course, there are a great number of people who want more
proof. Only if they find themselves in front of God after they are dead and the
world is destroyed - then some of them possibly would be willing to believe in
God.
So which group are you with?
1. Are you with the group that believes that God visited the
planet and that we should follow his example and heal the sick by creating
hospitals, give shelter to the homeless and give food to those who are hungry?
2. Or are you with the group that either doesn’t believe in
God or wants more proof by the world being destroyed and standing in front of
God after you are dead?
Either you believe in love or you believe in hate, death,
and destruction. God is love and he proved it when he came here. Anyone wanting
something else doesn’t want:
Peace – like that which existed on the entire globe during
his visit.
Love – like he provided by healing all the sick, blind,
deaf, and paralyzed that were brought to him
Mercy – like that he which offered with his dying breath for
us to be forgiven
It is the hour of decision and your time is growing short,
J.
