Plain Truth


The simple truth, is plain truth. Simply put, Jesus is LORD and our Lord. What other truth really matters? If He is the same yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever: He is immutable truth.

The truth of it is, our God is expressed in love through Jesus Christ, and He is also the God who judges the nations and someday the world. Of course He judges individuals too, both here and now and in eternity. And if we're found in Christ, the curse of our law breaking is laid on Jesus.

Yet, our God is not mocked and the things we do bodies are judged in our bodies. Paul even said some took communion in a sinful state and some got sick and even died. Well how does all this come to play with the curses of a fallen world? I don't know, but He does and He sorts it all out for His will and our good. I mean DNA flaws, imperfect parents, disease, and a whole host of problems are brought on by the curse of sin. Even Christians have to deal with all this. I mean “it rains on the just and unjust” and all creation suffers from the effects of sin. When death entered in, no man was exempt. Yeah, a couple guys escaped it—Enoch and Elijah—but everyone else, including Jesus goes through it. Someday one group of believers will escape it too. I would love to be in that group. Wouldn't you?
