Good morning! I need to get in early again this morning, and in light of that I am a little early in writing to you. This morning I saw a reference to karma. I suspect that most people use karma in place of "luck", but in either case they seek something harmless. A person can have good karma or bad karma, but either is based upon one's actions, thus giving the person some sense of control. What the world doesn't like about God is that he cannot be controlled by our actions, he is very personal, and he is not harmless. God makes the world, and those who believe in it, uncomfortable and frightened. Without the saving grace of Jesus, one cannot see the love of God. Without the love of God, all that a person sees is the judgment coming ever closer. You and I may have trouble imagining what it is like to not know God's love, we see examples of his gentle hand in our lives every day. We know that God is not harmless, but we also know his gentleness and loving kindness. Karma is impersonal and imaginary; God is very personal and not based upon our imagination. This makes the world tremble. We know that our savior will soon return to complete his work in us and take us up to be with him. What did karma or luck ever do for us?
Praise God for our very personal Savior, Jesus Christ!
