the mystery of Godliness

It’s possible that someone who is not familiar with the Christian faith,
meets with someone who is praying to icons and calls himself a Christian.
This person finds it strange and wrong and therefore rejects Christian
faith. He doesn’t do it for the right reason, but according to the word of
God he will not be excused at the last judgment.
Other people’s bad testimony or inability to communicate the message
doesn’t justify anybody’s unbelief.
God claims in the Word of God, that his handwriting is clear to every man.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork.
Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.” Psalm 19:1-3
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen,
being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power
and Godhead, so that they are without excuse…” Rm.1:20
God became man, this is the mystery of Godliness. I Tim.3:16
In all those confusing situations when people brought evil reports about him,
Jesus didn’t try to correct all the false accusations. He didn’t defend himself.
They ended up nailing him in the cross. Was this the greatest misunderstanding
in the history of the mankind?
Jesus didn’t go to the cross, because people voted against him.
He didn’t go to the cross, because he failed to explain to people the real
purpose of God. It was not a mistake, it was the plan of God.
We cannot correct all the disinformation in the world today,
but we can worship Jesus in all places, in all times and spread the
knowledge of this wonderful grace all around us.
