You’ve seen the commercials.  And they are really funny.  Why?  Because we all do stupid things that cause us so much pain we wish we could just disappear.  The funny/sad thing is, we can’t.  We’re caught!  And now we are bound as prisoners to face the truth of our actions or words.

We say, “Man!  I won’t do that again!”  But we find, later, we’re caught once again doing exactly what we vowed not to do.  For this aspect of our nature we do have a friend who understands.  And rather than hang your head in shame, turn your heart and mind toward Him.  His name is Jesus.  And He alone can remove the pain of our foolish behavior.  Not only that, but He is able to remove the foolishness which will cause us to ponder that “get away” at the very Throne of the Most High God. 

No one who stands condemned at that judgment will enjoy where they are and what got them there.  That’s a truth you can bank your entire soul on.  Don’t believe that lie which says, “I don’t mind going to hell.  All my friends are going to be there and we’ll have a wonderful party for eternity.”  Those who say such things have absolutely no clue as to the serious nature of God’s Holy Wrath against His enemies.

By His Grace.
