We’ve all heard the adage, “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.” Since we are finite beings, we will never know everything. In this life we must learn how to grow through our own ignorance.
Whether you are mother caring for you children, a father at work or in the home, a missionary, or a pastor of a church, it is easy to fall into the routine of serving the Lord where He has placed us and lose sight of the big picture.
The message of Good Friday and Easter
Life may see like a bunch of random events colliding together haphazardly to form our existence. Take pandemics, forced life changes, nationalities, job skills, geographic locations, political movements, angry people, the need to make money, and a list of other variables and put them all together and what do you have?
Since God is our Creator, then He must also hold a position of authority over us as Lord. All authorities have expectations for those who are under their authority. What does our Creator Lord expect from us?
Why did God create us? For His glory! (Isaiah 43:7; Revelation 4:11) God is glorified when we are satisfied and filled through our relationship with Him. Before the curse God filled Adam’s life with endless blessings and marvelous beauties! (Genesis 2:9-12; 1:31) The greatest gift of all was personal fellowship and communion with God Himself (Genesis 3:8-9).
God’s authority is rooted in His position as our Creator (Jeremiah 18:6). Our Creator is also by right our Lord. Our Creator gave us a free will and personal responsibility to choose how we will relate to Him (Romans 1:21).
Authority must come from somewhere. What gives a person the right to hold another person accountable? Why can your government, or your boss make rules that you must follow? Expand this question to God’s authority.
While they might not claim to be religious, every human being in our world is trying to make sense of their existence. Each individual must answer questions about their existence, purpose in life, and how to live. For those who have never been exposed to the Bible, their only source of knowledge is man’s thinking and observation.
God created us with a hunger and thirst for satisfaction. Every human being is longing to find the source of soul-satisfaction. As Jesus observed the masses of people thronging the streets of Jerusalem at the height of the feast his heart broke for them. He saw them as thirsty souls seeking hydration from mud puddles (Jeremiah 2:13).
