Do
you have something that you believe is worth dying for? Do you have someone
maybe that no matter what death you were going to face, you would be willing to
give your life for someone? Maybe a close family member like a brother or
sister, a spouse or some type of relationship that means a lot to you. Maybe a
even crazier thought dying for someone you don't know. We see this all the time
from firefighters, police officers, and soldiers. Now if you are in one of
these roles, you know that you could be giving your life for someone else to
have a better life or freedom. This concept is viewed as a high honor to give
your life for another.
Then
we get to Jesus. We find it so hard to believe that someone would give their
life away so that we may have a better life. We try to dishonor Jesus who did
what thousands of people do everyday and get honor for it, when that person
might not have known the person they were saving. Maybe for you though it is
not the fact of him dying...Maybe it is the fact that it is hard to believe
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
God.
God is someone most people have a hard time trusting because we can't see him.
We don't know which God is "The Real God". We hear so many ideas
about God. Let's take this Idea and look at it a different way. The Sun is a
huge mass of power and it is there. I mean yes we can see it during the day,
but every morning we have faith that it will be there. Even if we don’t recognize
that this is faith. This is like God. The sun is also like the trinity. You
have the Sun (God) then you have the light that comes from the sun. It is all
around us this could be seen as Jesus. Jesus is all around us and died for us.
The light is part of the sun. Then you have the Holy spirt, which in this
analogy is the heat. The holy spirit is what effects what we do. Some people
might say our conscious, but as Christians we know it to be the Holy Spirit.
They are all working together. They are all one. We can’t look directly at the
sun or it may damage our eyesight but we can see the light that it puts of off
and feel the heat. We can’t look directly at God due to our sinful nature but
we can see the light or Jesus, and the holy spirit is something that is there,
and with out it we are cold…Then the moon would be us (christians). We reflect
the light and reflect it onto the dark world.
So
When we look at it in this light of things. God, Jesus and The Holy Spirit are
thing that aren’t as crazy as we make them out to be. All we need is faith.
