Jesus Wrote on the Ground
The Supreme Court decided public prayer at a public meeting
was constitutional. That is a great
decision on their part; however, it has some of the anti Christians, anti God
people hopping mad. There have been many
posts and comments from both sides of the argument, many yeas, and some
nay. Bear in mind however, that both
liberal and progressive bureaucrats have had their negative comments. For me, I am rejoicing in the Lord over the
victory, they would not get so “red-faced” if it did not hit home.
Couple of points, concerning SIN our sin and how God always
points it out for the Christian it is by
convicting, wrought of the Holy Spirit, and for the heathen, it may be through
the conscience, providing they understand right from wrong, and what their
value of right and wrong dictate to their conscience.
The Supreme Court found that
public prayer prior to a public meeting is not
unconstitutional that seems like a small victory for the
Christian but it is a victory nonetheless.
Whenever we yield to the presence of God, it will convict us of our
sin. When the person who may be among
those conducting a public meeting, who wants to invoke God’s blessing and peace
on a meeting, all who attend the meeting must examine their own hearts, even
though it may be through their hatred.
Perhaps it may be that God can use that very hatred or denial to cause
the heathen to ask, “Why do I deny God?”
Why, at just the mention of His name or the sight of a symbol am I so
offended?
Please keep in mind, what may seem like a victory for the
religious freedom activist, may just be the reason for the adversaries of Jesus
to cause problems and disrupt, bully, or try to intimidate good people.
You see, as I once preached, the scribes and Pharisees wanted
to test Jesus on the Law of Moses, and Jesus stooped down and started to write
something, as if he was not hearing them, they persisted and pressed their
point on judgment and condemnation.
However, He got their attention when he said that the one who is without
sin throw the first stone, (my paraphrase), then stooped down, and started to
write again. Their focus was drawn to
the ground, and to their shame, Jesus exposed them. It is my studied opinion, that Jesus was
writing each of their names and the sin they were holding; shamed they must
have dropped their stones and went away, older men first, and then the
younger.
Point is God knows your sin, if you want to believe in Him or
if you choose not to believe in Him; and I guarantee he will
uncover your sin, He is the only one who can condemn you, and He already has,
so if I point out someone’s SIN I am not judging or condemning, just writing in
the dirt, observing the product of someone’s moral values, (inspecting the
fruit). Am I hypocritical? Yes, because I am a sinner saved by
grace, do I sin in thought and deed?
Again, yes and I will always until the day I die and then I will
be able to say, “I can sin no more, because I have been made complete in His
image, and there will be nothing to tempt me to sin. Meanwhile, Jesus will keep writing in the
dirt, exposing my sin to me as well as to a heathen, because He loves me as
well the heathen.
In conclusion, when we come to a meeting that prays before it
starts, I thank God he is involved, and when a group of people come together
friend and foe, prayer brings us into the presence of God in a way that Jesus
stoops down and writes in the dirt, reminding us that he knows our hearts, and
will expose it’s darkness. Perhaps that
is why Washington Bureaucrats don’t like to start off their meetings with
prayer, oh they used to start sessions daily with the Chaplain offering prayer,
but not so much the meetings and hearings, so they just continue to feed their
own interest with lies, false promises, manipulation, bullying, and just plain
stupid compromise to get what they want; it is both parties, and from what I
see only a few brave souls have stood for what is the actual best for the
nation. God bless them.
I wish that before hearing each case, and when then close for
deliberation, there would be public prayer at the Supreme Court; I know that
they (most of them) will not spend any time in prayer in their private
deliberations.
No one has ever escaped God’s judgment and condemnation
without watching Jesus stoop and write in the dirt; it is what we do when he
does, do we walk away, or do we turn our wicked ways over to Him?
No one wants to see Jesus stoop down to write in the dirt.
