Hammer down!

A young man got a magnificent job offer; great pay great benefits and a great work environment.  The only problem was he had to drive 80 miles everyday across rural country to get to work and back.

On his first day he started to drive and came across a small country town.  He saw the speed limit that said 35 miles per hour.  But he thought, “Its just a tiny town I’ll do 45.”  What a fateful decision that was.  He got about halfway through and was pulled over by the town policeman.

The policeman got out of his car and walked up to the drivers window.  The man expected words and a ticket.  That’s not what he got.

The police officer reached for his gun and put the muzzle against the man’s temple.  With a soft smooth voice and a very tiny smile the police officer said, “You speed through my town again son and I’ll blow your brains out.”  With no other words the police officer just turned, walked back to his car and drove away. 

The man worked for that company for 15 years.  Everyday he worked he had to drive through that town twice.  And every time he went through the town he made sure his car was only moving at 35 miles an hour.

If we would agree with the young man in his response to the insanity of the police officer, why do we not think God is serious?  The wages of sin is death.  Why then do men keep on sinning?

Yes HE is!

The Holy Lord, the God of Eternity who has made this place, is risen from the dead!   He has been given all authority over heaven and earth.  He sits at the right hand of the sovereign God of Glory.

If a man accomplishes a great task we can say with confidence he was always able to do it.  And we must admit we were wrong to doubt. 

If the man told us he would do it we were wicked to call him a liar.  And now the proof of our folly stands before us.  Who, in his right mind, would stand before what the man has built and say it does not exist?

From eternity the Lord Jesus was able to attain this Great position.  Doubt and accusation has reduced the evil one to less than he was.  And this was done long before the world was created.  So he went about perverting.

And even when the Great Holy Temple of our Lord Jesus was completed the devil has not ceased his perverting. 

I do not say this to cast accusation against the devil.  I say this to shine a brilliant light on all who would speak evil of the Holy Lord of life.  I say this to all men who observe the holy place in which they live yet cast aspersions on the One who made it.

Am I wrong to call creation a holy place?  Does the Sun rise over millions of years without failing?  Do the seasons cease or become disordered?  Does heat and cold fail to be?  Then how do men assail the Holiness of God who made this place?

The Lord Jesus has risen from the dead as was prophesied by the Holy Lord God Almighty.  Let men doubt as they will.  Let them mock Him with their own parade of wickedness; even on this day of celebration for His glory.

His holy ways are before us day and night.  They are like the fool who stands before the finished building and says it is not there.  They are the ones who have blinded their own eyes because they live in derision, rebellion and lies.

We are born in sin.  Yet all our life we observe what is holy and consistent.  Where is understanding?  How does it evade the fool?  How can man love ignorance,  while the proof rages a torrent against his unbelief?

The Holy Lord Jesus is risen from the dead!  And now the accusations against The Father’s enemies become His.  Let the nations rant and rage against the Holy Lord Jesus!  They are the ones who will suffer.

The Holy Lord Jesus is risen from the dead!
