Just the sound of the words, "fair, just and righteous," can prove
to be exhilarating as much as they can prove to be confusing. The
words sound good, however; in this world, few really believe in
them for good reason. For all practical purposes they do not exist.
The words exist, however, the true meaning of the words rarely
exist. Everyone knows that life is not fair. If it were fair there
would not be any hungry, much less starving people in the world.
This world is not a just world. Take our own justice system for
example. It's the best we can come up with, so I suppose it is
better than nothing. Try convincing that to the families who have
loved ones who are innocent yet are incarcerated and even executed,
or the victims of the guilty criminals who are set free. These are
not infrequent injustices. Righteousness is fair and just combined.
It has to do with being morally upright and proper. Know anyone
like that? Self-righteous and unrighteous people are far more
plentiful in this world. But what if you could imagine a world
where fairness, and justice and righteousness were absolute
realities? A world where God, not man or religion, but only God was
the One who defined the meaning and measure of fairness, justice
and righteousness? Wow Who wouldn't love that? That is music to our
ears. Or rather it should be music to our ears. It's hard to
imagine a place like that because we have never known a place like
that. Yet, there is a place like that that does exist. Some people
believe that, and some people don't, and that's okay. All I ask is
that you imagine, much like imagining what you would do with all
your winnings of a lottery. Even if you do not win, those moments
of imaging, "what if," were still fun, and they were real at the
time. You do not have to believe in this world to have fun
imagining it is real. However; be prepared to pay the price if you
do decide this world is real. By the way, the price is free.
Author K Nelson Rybolt provides a bold new look into the dangers
that face our nation by marrying religion and politics. K Nelson
Rybolt insists the separation of church and state must be taken
seriously now more than ever before due to these polarizing
changing times in our nation and our politics.
Christians have been long awaiting, and outwardly expressing
excitement as they speak about looking forward to their awaited
Banquet Feast in heaven. Genuinely convinced by way of their
exclusive Christian beleif, their invitation to this Great Banquet
is an absolute. By all accounts this invitation represents among
other things; honor, a privelege, and in its own way, a reward.
These exclusive Christians, convinced they will in fact be
presented with an invitation to this Great and Grand Banquet Feast
taking place in heaven, they have proven to be as equally convinced
and assured they will be accepting their invitation and attending
this Great Banquet Feast. Afterall, who in their half right mind
would actually prove to decline such a grand invitation? Be it here
on this earth, or in heaven? Our vision of a Great Banquet Feast
includes a vast variety of delicious foods in abundance, along with
drinks of plenty.No doubt that certainly describes mankinds vision
and understanding of an event so grand held here on this earth.
With that vision in mind, now try to envision a Banquet so great,
if not presumably far exceeding this earthly Banquet, except it is
being held in and celebrated in heaven? Invitations are sent out.
They are hand delivered to the special quests of this Grand earthly
Banquet. The most distinquist and most well known, most well liked,
and most wealthy and gracious host has spared no cost, has set no
limits. This Grand Banquet will become known throughout all the
land and throughout the duration of all history as being
unsurpassed in grandeur. Attendence will be limited to, and
strictly enforced to those guests who have personally been invited
by way of an official hand delivered invitation. The evening of the
Great Banquet has arrived. Everything is set. Every last detail is
in perfect place. The guests begin to arrive in droves. Within less
than an hour all invited guests have arrived at this earthly Great
Banquet Feast. The Great Banquet Feast foretold to take place in
heaven, or in other words, "after we die," is found written and
spoken about throughout the entire pages of the Bible. The one
significant difference between the two stories of the identical
Great Banquet Feasts, is that one takes place here on earth in
heaven. More importantly, that one isolated difference between
these Banquests held on earth or in heaven, sheds light on the one,
yet very significant result. All the officially invited guests to
attend this Great Banquet Feast being held in heaven, decline their
invitation. They are all no-shows. It took very little to figure
out that these originally invited guests did not like what was on
the menu. It dawned on me that these guests reacted in the exact
same way Jesus' first successfully aquired seveny followers also
proved to react to Jesus' words as he explained to them, "you must
eat my flesh and drink my blood in order to inherit eternal life."
All but the original twelve disciples were out of there, and real
quicklike. Certainly their thoughts must have been thoughts of
literal cannabolism and vampires. Your hand delivered invitation to
the Great Banquet Feast in heaven has on the menu the identical
food Jesus ate, and the identical drink that Jesus drank. What
would you do? Would you be prepared (hypothetically of course) to
accept that invitation?
