It’s a big deal. It really is. There is nothing that comes close to beating the concept.
So God sent a hero. Why do some folks have trouble appreciating that? It has always made perfect sense to me. Ever since I was a little kid and I experienced genuine pain, I was able to tell that God sending a hero for us was the most understandable thing in the world. We are down here, making mistake after mistake, and God sent someone to guide us. Why? It seems pretty obvious.
Jesus did not come to show off. He did not come to preach, which you might find hard to understand. He came to befriend us. That was the whole point. We were lonely, and God sent His Son to be our best friend as we go through challenge after challenge.
What really rips you up? Are there certain things that never seem to get resolved? Then you really need to study the Christ more. You do need the fellowship and worship and study. God gave all the answers, laid out all neat and clean. So simple that even the most basic person could get it. There is a reason for that too.
God wants EVERYONE to get salvation. He did not mean for a fraction of folks to go to hell, and a fraction of folks to go to purgatory. His intention is for absolutely every single soul to get home to be with Him. There is no such thing as a world that God created where there is not a rescue chute. He provides one to every single being. What did people do before Jesus came on the scene? They had to work a lot harder to figure things out.
I do not have the same view of God as many Christians. I look at Him as an instructor first, and a parent second. I try to find the great lesson in every situation. The lesson in the hero deliverance is that God wanted to show us what we are capable of. We really can embrace the Christ, our hero, and suddenly change the world for the better.
