As
I was sitting at my computer, I was rubbing the back of my neck and
quickly retracted my hand for pain shot through my neck. I felt again
and noticed a pimple formed on the back of my neck. Gross, huh? Yeah, I
thought that would be your reaction. Now, pimples are natural. They form
because of clogged pores. Quick science lesson here from the Science
Bank of Sam Stone's Brain....when the pores get clogged with oil and
dirt, bacteria and other nasties live in the pores then. They feed on
the disgusting literally dead but not so rotten flesh in the pores. The
bacteria then form an infection and cause puss to form. That's why when
you pop a pimple, not only does puss come out, but also pain! Lot's of
pain depending on how many nerve endings there are connected to that
part of the body. I.e. the lips/face has a lot of nerve endings because
of the actions it does like expressions and eating.
Now
that the science lesson is over with, I now present you with my point:
when we were not saved, God saw us, naturally, as sinners. Our hearts
were dripping with blackness, with sin. Satan was feeding on us just as
the bacteria was feeding on the dead flesh in our pores. We were quite
disgusting, were we not? I know for me, I can look back at WHAT I was
since I was saved at a little later age in my life. I sicken myself just
thinking about what I WAS! The Lord, obviously, is so gracious, so
kind, so merciful, so generous, so loving! The list goes ON AND ON!
"Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised! In the city of our God, in
the mountain of His holiness! Beautiful for situation, the joy of the
whole earth is Mount Zion on the side of the North, the city of the
great King!" Psalm 48:1-2 KJV
I know we always
hear about salvation and sin and the rest of the things that go along
with those topics in church all the time. I know for myself there is
ALWAYS some salvation/I am a sinner tie-in at that last part of the
service in Children's Church. It has become an ever so famous Christian
cliche, sadly. This isn't church nor is it supposed to be a cliche! The
Almighty, UNCHANGEABLE God gave US, as lowly sinners, salvation! A
Saviour! This is supposed to be a fresh reminder to all of you that not
only did Jesus Christ come to this earth to save our sorry carcasses but
to also tell us of the incredible news about how He is coming back to
take us away to Heaven with Him! Look at this as if you are looking at
all of this for the first time! Go to bed tonight and SINCERELY thank
the Lord God in Heaven for YOUR salvation and for sending HIS ONLY SON
to die on the cross and suffer for US! For us ALL!
"Thank
you, Lord, for saving MY soul! Thank you, Lord, for making me whole!
Thank you, Lord for giving to me Thy great salvation so rich and FREE!"
Readers,
as you know, I can go on and on and on about this topic. I can branch
off and tell about the COUNTLESS attributes of God! However, I will
refrain myself from doing so since I wouldn't using my time wisely nor
would I be doing well in school because I would be here for hours on end
typing! : ) In closing, I want to say, once again, please praise the
Lord for your salvation because I promise you this: you will NEVER have a
better gift to share with someone than the gift of salvation since it
was given to you for free and you are able to lead someone in the
direction of receiving that gift for themselves.
