That’s a question that both Christian and Non-Christian have asked throughout history.

A fallen world.

Sin.

It’s a question which in itself explains why the Christian must always strive to follow Christ, admit when sinning, and seek always to defend those who cannot defend themselves.

Christ elected to carry the sins of all mankind when He was Innocent, through what was considered the most humiliating form of corporal punishment in the days in which He walked.

It’s one of those questions that when the Lord’s Children see the answer, it will be so obvious that we would probably just shake our heads if we were still walking upon the earth.

When it becomes to much for my mortal mind to grasp, I have to retreat to the Truth I know: In God’s time all will become clear.

Without the Blood of Jesus there is no way I could cling to that Truth. It helped me off the edge, if it could be said to be like that.... and I am so grateful for those who admitted to me when I would ask them that very question, that they could only look forward to the answer.

I would laugh and rage at the same time. And then, one day, I understood and accepted the Truth of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

I’m a guilty as the next person when I put my foot in my mouth. And ashamed when my mouth runs instead of my brain or my faith. Who knows, what harm my actions/inaction has caused? On that day that I find out, I will be grateful for the demanding love of the Father and the sacrifice of the Son.

Sorry to blabber. Being inside my house with my beloved, I believe is starting to take it’s toll.
