God’s visit
“The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.” – Psalm 145:14
The greatest news in the world is that God has visited this earth. He has walked this planet. He has made his great pronouncements. He has spoken his mind. He has declared his will. He has revealed his heart.
It is Jesus who reveals to the human race that God is “the eye that never closes, the ear that is never shut, the mind that never stops thinking, the heart that never grows cold.”
God would be only a vague idea, an irresponsible product of someone’s imagination, an unreliable exercise of human philosophizing, if it were not for Jesus Christ. Interpret Jesus as you wish, but one fact emerges clearly—God becomes real to those who draw close to Christ.
So listen to him when he says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11: 25). Come to him…you with the empty, hollow lives. And when you come, don’t intellectualize, don’t analyze, and don’t diagnose him. Simply bow. Simply believe. Simply bend your knee, and you will experience the good life he has for you!
