When I was little, a show for children had, as two of its characters, a bird and a furry elephant with a pointed trunk. The two talking animals were friends. No one, however, would ever believe the bird when he told the people that the elephant was his friend. Now, the bird would never tell the people that his friend was an elephant. He just told them the elephant’s long name. No one believed the bird, even though the elephant was close by on at least one occasion.
Finally, at the end of the series, the bird convinced everyone to let him take them to where this big elephant was. Then, they all believed he existed. The next show seemed to start the whole series over again because everyone didn’t think that the big elephant existed.
Some people are that way with God. He has revealed Himself to us through nature, but they still ignore Him. I know some people who have been hurt by different circumstances that the Devil used to make them doubt God’s existence. God longs to help them through by showing them His love and mercy. Yet if they refuse to accept His tender love and compassion, they will someday experience His wrath and judgment.
For it is written, “As I live saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.” Jesus is coming back one day. He is returning for His bride, the church. Everyone will see Him, and they will all know He is God. After this, all who have died without believing will be raised from the dead to stand before Him and give an account of their lives.
If you haven’t, accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you have, stay faithful to Him because He is coming soon.
