There once was a man named Nich who was ruler over a nation and was a highly educated man. He marveled at the miraculous prospect of climbing back inside of his mother’s womb, to be born a second time and thus achieving eternal life. You and i think his belief system pretty ridiculous. Why is that?
Could it be… our lack of belief in the ridiculous prevents our ability to believe in the reality of the miraculous. We look at Nich and think how ridiculous he was to consider climbing back into his mother’s womb, but was he really that ridiculous or could it be his belief in the miraculous of Jesus was so strong that nothing seemed impossible to him if Jesus chose.
Jesus had a profoundly ridiculous story to tell. He had little time to tell it. In just a few months, He was tasked by the Father to convince the world He was their Savior. It was a story filled with love and miracles. It was His story written by the Father and concluded on the cross. It was a ridiculous story. The story was written for you.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”~Jesus
St. Paul called it “foolishness” to all those who do not believe.
We are “fools for Christ”, that’s for sure.
Thank you.
