Sometimes our imagination can get the best of us. When we’re frightened, we imagine every kind of danger and flinch at every noise. When we’re feeling our oats, everything is right with the world and we’re invincible. Our imagination is greatest when we are children, because we don’t know any limits. Anything is possible, and nothing is impossible. Childlike faith was applauded by Jesus. Did the children have any doubt that he was the Son of God, and could take them to heaven? Not at all. How about the adults? They wouldn’t believe anything, and wanted a miracle just to get their attention. Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us, “We are saved by grace through faith.”
Why can’t we accept that plain truth? Why do we need something we can’t see? Like the man in Luke 16, we want to believe when it’s too late! The picture before you, what do you imagine it to be? Some may see an egg that no chicken could hatch! Some may see an egg that no chicken could lay! What would a child think about the picture? They might see a porcupine that’s too big for its shell! Quit over-thinking: accept it’s by grace through faith and move on. Bottom Line
“For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
