The Lord God Jesus is a God of signs.  He speaks to all men by what He has accomplished.  His promises are made known by what He has already done.  He has made man in this place of abundant life and death.  Who does not perceive what is around them?

Animals, trees, grass, flowers, rocks, clouds, storms, heat and cold, and every other aspect of this world testify in some way to His majesty.  Suffering, joy, knowledge, and all the aspects of life roll up into our death.  And all the while we witness these same things in the life around us.  A living story has been created within us and without.  Who does not perceive what is around them?

Object lessons abound, each pointing to some great revelation of His ways.  Nothing is that doesn’t teach us something about the Gospel of the Lord Jesus.  Yet how many take the time to make the association between what is and what will be?

Boundaries have been laid out for every living thing.  And He has spoken a word to us regarding these signs.  “Man is without excuse.”  We are spoken to about God and His Majesty every moment of every day.  Men run from the Bible.  But the noise of creation is a song of testimony which never sleeps.

Let us all look around a moment and consider what we are and what surrounds us.  Listen to the song of sacrifice, life, death, consistency, and promise.  Regardless our willingness to accept what He speaks, the message of our Holy God in Jesus rings out loud and clear.  Deaf ears, blind eyes, unfeeling fingers, and lying tongues will never hide what is true.  Simply because I deny what is true does not make Him out to be a liar.  It is the one who ignores His message who suffers.  Eternity rolls on with or without us.
