That wisecrack statement was made on a recent TV show when one of the characters was caught in a lie. But sometimes even our own senses lie to us. Take for example the spiral on the picture below:
"So, who are you going to believe - me or your own two
eyes?"
That wisecrack statement was made on a recent TV show when one of the characters was
caught in a lie. But sometimes even our own senses lie to us. Take for example the spiral
on the picture below:
If you take a closer look you will discover that it isn't really a
spiral at all, but a series of concentric circles. If you place your finger at a point and
try to trace the spiral to the middle, you'll never get there. A lot of people think
they know the way to God without really checking out what He has to say about it. They say
"Live a good life, do good to others, go to church and pray, and you'll be OK."
Nobody can deny that these are good things to do. The world would be a better place if
everyone followed these rules. But they are not the way to God. The Bible teaches
that we are all sinners, and no matter how may good things we do, that sin still separates
us from God. Like the picture above, we can only run around in circles, and never get any
closer to God.
That's why God took the initiative and reached out to us. In His love He came to earth and
lived among us as a man. He experienced hunger, pain, lonliness, poverty and sorrow. And
when His earthly ministry was through, He willingly gave his life in payment for our sins
so that we may be forgiven and have eternal life with Him.
Have you received God's gift of Eternal Life? If not, why not do it right now?
