To: make no mistake

Yes. Of course. All Christians profess love of the lord. It is easy to do,
The question is, what did Jesus mean when he talked about those to which He will say, “I never knew you?” What about “the road is wide but the gate is narrow?”

Doesn’t that seem to suggest that it is more than flicking to the next channel, but really digging in to His word, and acting upon it? It is about more than this piddly life we have here.

Our nature is not one that normally takes the hard road, even when we profess it. Peter was with Christ! He had the words of LIFE constantly around him, and he STILL couldn’t stand at Christ’s time of need.

And we, poor fools, change channels...so that we can hear words that are more comfortable.

None of them have the words of Life, and even if they did, we still wouldn’t listen.

This is what is truly amazing about the depth and breadth of LOVE from our Lord. Staggering, when you think about it.

And we just argue over breadcrumbs. To put it succinctly, “we suck.”
