“And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.”
Luke 17:26-27 KJV
“God is going to invade, all right: but what is the good of saying you are on HIs side then, when you see the whole natural universe melting away like a dream and something else—something it never entered your head to conceive—comes crashing in; something so beautiful to some of us and so terrible to others that none of us will have any choice left?” C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis is an Apologist that lived in the first half of the 20th century and wrote over 40 books including “Chronicles of Narnia” and “Mere Christianity”. Lewis grew up in a Christian household but lost faith after his mother died at age 9 and frustration with his prayer life led him to walk away at the age of 13. After studying world religions and philosophies through college, Lewis eventually came back to Christ one night after talking with J.R.R Tolkien and Hugo Dyson. The culmination of Lewis’ researching led to an understanding that all Pagan myths were not as accurate nor historically documented as the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 1:18 KJV
Where does this leave you? Is not being able to understand the simplicity of the cross hindering the choice?
Does it seem as something of myth or fairytale? Or are you just too busy in the daily grind where “same stuff different day” is the common answer to how are you doing?
Even more hopeless, have you chosen that what you see in this life is what you get? This finite existence of temporary pleasures or enduring pain simply culminates into dust and uncertainty?
There is hope in the cross and eternity in Christ. All it takes is a little bit of faith.
