"So, who are you going to believe - me or your own two eyes?"
That wisecrack statement was made on a recent TV show when one of
the characters was caught in a lie. But sometimes even our own
senses lie to us. Take for example the spiral on the picture below:
If you take a closer look
you will discover that it isn't really a spiral at all, but a series of
concentric circles. If you place your finger at a point and try to trace
the spiral to the middle, you'll never get there.
A lot of people think they know the way to God without really checking
out what He has to say about it. They say "Live a good life, do good
to others, go to church and pray, and you'll be OK."
Nobody can deny that these are good things to do. The world would be
a better place if everyone followed these rules. But they are not
the way to God. The Bible teaches that we are all sinners, and no matter
how many good things we do, that sin still separates us from God. Like the
picture above, we can only run around in circles, and never get any closer
to God.
That's why God took the initiative and reached out to us. In His love He
came to earth and lived among us as a man. He experienced hunger, pain,
lonliness, poverty and sorrow. And when His earthly ministry was through,
He willingly gave his life in payment for our sins so that we may be
forgiven and have eternal life with Him.
