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?
