Too good to be false

Christianity is sublime.

Just think.

That God would love his fallen creation so much that he would wrap himself for eternity in humanity, bear the punishment our rebellions deserve, and offer adopted status as God's very own, His sons and daughters to all those who choose to enter by His narrow gate.

It is too good to be false.

And all those who "think they're smarter than God", or insist on trusting in their own efforts, get left out.

And it's too God-exalting and humanity-humbling to have originated in the mind of man.

As the stunned, amazed angels said, as they began to grasp the honour bestowed upon mankind, and the awesome extent of God's saving love, "Glory to God in the highest!"

Yes!

Someday, all creation will join this chorus of praise, and all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord.

Someday, every knee, even the knees of the most ornery and stubborn, will bow; and every tongue, even the tongues of the most vile and blasphemous, will declare "Jesus Christ is Lord".

He won that right when the nails were pounded in the wood.

The world showed its true colours when it crucified the Lord of glory.

God showed the extent and depth of His love in the very same act.

He turned an act of unspeakable evil inside out, turning it into an act of inexpressible love.

Love so amazing

So sublime

Simply too good to be false.

And that's the way the Ball bounces.
