Our Answer .........
Jesus Christ said; WHOEVER ACKNOWLEDGES ME BEFORE MEN,
I WILL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM BEFORE MY FATHER IN HEAVEN.
( MATTHEW 10:32-33 *NIV )
The Bible tells us to have an answer for why you believe
for those who ask you. The following is a good example
of an answer to one of the most common reasons people
give for ignoring God and His Goodness.
The following was sent to me this week by one of our
subscriber's. It is called: "God Exists!"
A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and his beard
cut as always. He began to have a good conversation with
the barber who attended him.
They talked about so many things and various subjects.
Suddenly, they touched on the subject of God. The barber
said: "Look man, I don't believe that God exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
Well, it's so easy, you just have to go out in the street
to realize that God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God
exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there
be abandoned children? If God exists, there would be no
suffering nor pain. I can't think of loving a God who
permits all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but he didn't respond
because he did not want to start an argument. The barber
finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after
he left the barber shop, he saw a man in the street with
long hair and a beard that was very long as well, one could
tell that it had been a long time since he had his hair cut.
He also looked dirty and unkempt.
The customer entered the barber shop again and he said to the
barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say they don't exist?" asked the surprised barber."
I am here and I am a barber. Why I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist, because
if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard
like that man who is outside."
"Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people sometimes
do not come to them."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God does
exist. What happens is people don't go to Him and do not look
for Him. That's why there is so much suffering and hardship in
this world today." Amen.
In HIS Love & Service,
