Bigger Muscles

Luke 24 : 44

While driving the other day I was listening to a talk on the existence of God in a scientific worldview. The scientists themselves doesn’t seem to have answers to several of the questions they ask themselves. It is interesting when one of the scientists says that we selectively select the problems to answer. But It’s confusing when they take a few things for granted and deny the others because it has to do with God. One is fine with the Big bang theory and says it just happened. But when it comes to God, Its like, How, Why, When ???

It is pretty much the same when we read the scripture and apply it on our practical lives. Bible is a complete revelation because Grace and law are combined and presented in the best way one can understand. We also classify that there are blessings and to the other we might say tough times. The disciples were ready to accept the blessings of Jesus to be Preachers, Leaders and Healers. But they were never sure about the cross. They just could not take it. Jesus reminded them saying that you always knew that I would be arrested, crucified, and even buried. Then why such hue and cry.

  Lets be reminded of the fact that we will always have the cross. Unless we are willing to carry the cross, we will not witness the resurrection. Our lives are in the hands of God. As we walk in the center of His will, He will help us carry the cross and be His true witness. Lets not be like the child who always wants to hear yes. But lets be able to push the big rock not to clear the space, but to have bigger muscles.
