Good Thursday morning! A very warm morning it is too, but that will most likely change soon. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Have you given any thought to your list of things to be grateful for? That sounds like a good project for me this coming weekend. There is so much to be thankful for that I may have trouble finding a good place to stop! One thing to start with: I am glad the Father in Heaven sent to us a Savior. As Gentiles we would have nowhere to go. The Jewish people were given the Law, a system of sacrifices, and many prophecies to look forward to. The Gentiles had nothing but a pantheon or two. A man once said that we have a God shaped hole in all of us. That may explain why the Gentiles of yesterday had so many deities; something had to be invented to fill that hole. However, we don't need to worry about that any more. God himself came down in the form of a little baby born in Bethlehem in Judea some 2,000 years ago. Now lots of old stories speak of gods having sons, but did any of those sons laid down his life for the salvation of all? Many lies start in mockery of one truth. Jesus told us that He is the Truth. Simple choice once more: believe in Him and accept Him as the Truth, or don't believe and lump him in with a bunch of other religions. You and I have chosen to believe in Jesus, and we are now at odds with the world's intellectual reasoning. I have no problem with that, and I suspect that you don't either. Let us move forward in the love of Jesus today.
