"The sun is still going come up tomorrow morning, isn't it? Isn't it?"

Yes and No. The sun will come up tomorrow and for at least a thousand years more. Then there will come a day when the sun and the earth and all their elements melt. They will be completely destroyed by fire. And it will then be replaced bye a new sun and a new earth.

But what you don't know, is will the sun come up tomorrow for you? For all you know it might not. And then you will be standing before a perfect holy God. A God who knows no sin. A God of justice who long ago declared that the penalty for sin would be death.

So if the sun doesn't come up for you tomorrow, what will your defense be?

  1. That you have no sin?
  2. That you did some extra good to make up for your sin? Assuming of course that some good existed that wasn't your duty to do?
  3. That you were confused and didn't know right from wrong? Perhaps God gave you a faulty conscience?
  4. That it's God's fault for making you? I'm sure God can think of a remedy for that one.
  5. That you are guilty, but that someone else, someone who was blameless, and owed no debt of their own, suffered your penalty for you so that you wouldn't have to?

#3 is the only answer that works. And that blameless one was God himself in the form of Jesus.

If the sun doesn't come up I'll just stay in the bar.
