Hope or Chaos?

 

Then you will begin to say, ’We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’  But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’    Luke 13:26-27 (ESV) When the truth is revealed, there will be many who will be shocked. There are many who think that they can do something that would make them worthy of God’s love. There are many who are trying to impress both God and man by their religious fervor. There are many who are focused on what they can do, and they begin to believe that it is their efforts that please God. Instead of placing their trust in Christ’s finished work, they have placed their trust in their incomplete works. They may have admitted that they are the problem, but now, they are acting like the solution as well. One cannot be both the problem and the solution. It cannot work that way. In the end, those who have trusted Christ are secure in Him. Those who have played the game under their own “house rules” need to hope the rules to their game have been acceptable to God. In the end, they will find that the house rules they have applied to their game are not the real rules. In Christ we have hope. In man we have chaos. For now, the choice is mine.
