How many times we
thought if God was physically present to address the most demanding challenges
of the present times and of our lives. Right?
During the
desperate times, when we come to a point that we can't take anymore with the
evil surpassing over everything, we are left clueless. Sometimes in a flick of
a moment we want it to be true to have Him walking around us in person.
Looking back in
the Bible when Jesus was in this world moving with the people, we noticed the
political situation was not better, actually worse. There were classes among
the people, friction and huge differences between clergy and laity and in fact
continual plots against God Himself. And the world thought they can't have God
live among men. Fear of God ruling and taking over was making them insecure,
Power play was heightened and as a result killed a God who was giving life and
making a radical difference in individuals.
History would
again repeat and murder this same God if He chooses to live among us physically
once again. What people are in search is a God who is not existing and unknown.
Paul says in Acts 17:23 "I notice in an altar inscribed "To an unknown
God" and it so true even now, when we believe god to be superficial. We want to fashion our own God, customized to our own specifications
and give us more wealth and prosperity alone. We promote selfishness and live as per our own standards.
Therefore, I am
convinced it is a blessing to be substituted with His spirit dwelling among us
and to have the Holy scriptures testify about Him. We have a reason and a privilege to
trust in our God who is real and to walk in the path He has paved for us, as
the song that says "Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus". We have a
privilege to feel Him every moment in our being, if we are rightly connected to
Him. He is now more personal and felt every moment unlike during Jesus time in
the earth where we have to physically commute to reach where He is. If we
believe in the deity of Christ then we have all the assurances and unfailing
promises to help us and take us through every situation.
