What a blessed privilege to...I am with you friend. What a blessed privilege to have one's ears open to hear and one's eyes open to see. We are unworthy and have done nothing to deserve it. Your words bring to mind the great call of our Saviour Jesus Christ: <b>And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luke 9:23</b><br />Sure, one doesn't have to look far in the Christian world to see how the old landmarks of faith have been torn down. It is undignified and gruesome to regularly mention the Blood that saves. It is impolite to refer to <i>Jesus</i>. Rather it is preferable to refer to Him as <i>Lord</i> or <i>Christ</i> instead. <br />We read how that Jesus will be on the Throne<b>…a Lamb as it had been slain…Rev 5:6</b> and He will be worshipped throughout eternity as <b>…the Lamb that was slain…Rev 5:13</b>. <br />The Cross is a <i>Way of Life</i>. It is a marriage dance with Jesus. The angels above marvel at the song it produces in the human soul. It is such a Love that cannot be imitated apart from walking with Jesus under the weight of the wood. The Way of the Cross is a hidden fountain. It is the satisfying quencher.<br />Rick, the twenty three questions you ask are rhetorical. And you seem to answer your questions and end your essay with scorn. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for a wake-up call. We live in a world fraught with danger. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. There is a spiritual battle going on and God’s people are left for dead in the gutter. The Good Samaritan had compassion and first poured oil in the wounds not the wine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
