To Be or Not to Be?

To Be or Not to Be?

Is that really the question or a question? Inquiring minds want to know what is the way? I'm not sure the world has ever really taken the time to truly seek out the real answer to this question? There are obvious facts of life that we cannot avoid. I performed a study recently that concluded 100% of people that are born -- die! Wow, what does this really mean? On one hand, there are those who go through life thinking life is short so just do it! Just blow it! Just party! While these may be "so-called" fun activities with absolutely zero responsibility to others, they are careless and fraudulent at best. On another hand, you might consider that life is short and it's inevitable that each of us will someday die and no longer exist in the body we have come so comfortable living in.

Regardless of your opinion(s) of life, and how you live your life; there are some startling facts to consider. Every human being came from somewhere! Think about it for a minute? You must admit, YOU didnt create yourself? YOU were born from your mother .... that's just a simple fact. Sure there may be some of you who were born in a test tube environment, however your origin is still the same as every human being on the planet.

So whats the difference between people? There are men and women all over the planet. If you'll consider the basics of life, we all were created beings from a Soverign God who owes you no explanation of His deity or purpose or plan. Funny how the opinions of people are merely shaped by what they think they can understand. Why is that?

If you look at the religions of the world, you quickly find the distance between them in there doctrine (otherwise known as teachings). Seems like today, there are numerous Muslims that are burning the Danish Embassy because of a Danish newspaper article of their founding leader Muhammad. This is absolutely ridiculous! This is yet another example of people who instinctively and violently respond to something they have little or no knowledge about. How many of these people study the Koran? It goes to say that here you have a bunch of people blowing up stuff because they feel nobody has the right to say anything negative about their founder. GUESS WHAT? Muhammad never died for the sins of muslims or anyone for that fact!!!

There has only been 1 man that ever walked this planet that was perfect in everything. He never did anything wrong, never hurt anyone or entertained the rebellion that all people entertain. He never missed the mark of perfection for He was perfect, even in death. His name was JESUS CHRIST. Look what the world did to Him?

You have a choice today .... How will you chose to respond to what Jesus Christ did for you specifically by dying on the cross for you and your sins? What will you do with the life God has given you?

Will you understand this? Probably not. If you will ask, the Lord Jesus Christ will meet you right where you are.
