THE MANKIND DILEMMA

I weigh our dilemma constantly.

All of mankind possesses the same hurt, longs for the same need, and has the interest from God to provide the most unimaginable cure.  The equation of life is ultra-simple: 

          Born - eventual dead in sin + born over in Jesus = eternal life now and forevermore.

What every person wants every person can have; abundant life!  Yet, we fight one another constantly for the temporary which ultimately disappoints as it does not satisfy.  It always fades.

So why can't we get there?  Why can't more of mankind  land upon God's proposal for relief?

It seems we can't get there because Satan has meticulously divided us into continents of unbelievers and believers.  Each of these groups were then dismantled yet again into wicked unbelievers, indifferent unbelievers.  To top this fragmentation the believing are split into denominations which split again and again among ourselves; each claiming either to be the one true pathway to heaven or rolling our eyes at those who make such claims. 

This causes the dark world to mock as they may not know what is right; but they know this isn't.

Mankind's dilemma is the religious every much as the irreligious.

This affirms that when the Lifegiver (being only Jesus) is not in the equation....there is simply entangled turbulence.  Such unrest prolongs frustration as the inner person yearns for something to fill the hole in our hearts.

Jesus is our all.  Many don't believe this too-good-to-be-true gospel because they look at us instead of him. 

May we make assertive strides to draw more in to the solution.  And may the solution be in the Person of Jesus and not in our organizational modes nor our doctrinal distractions.  When we get to Jesus, he will help us with both organization and doctrine.  We first must grow in him.
