Today with the constant attack on Christians and Christian
beliefs worldwide we are worried Christianity is being phased out. Why?
This is nothing new. Lets look back at the crucifixion to understand
today's anti-Christianity movement.
When Jesus was crucified was it because he was evil? Was it
because he was a thief, murderer? Nope, it was for none of those reasons. In
fact Jesus was blameless without fault. So why did they crucify him? They
crucified Jesus because he had the truth and was the truth. The truth bothered
people same as it does today.
The Jews and the overly religious thought lets get rid of
the guy; we have it so good he’s disrupting our lives. If the people find out
Jesus is the way and the truth they will follow him and we will lose our
standing. So they crucified him thinking they could get rid of the truth and
just continue on with their lives.
Life was good, they got rid of their problem until suddenly
- Jesus returned from the grave. Truth won out. Soon followers of Christ started
proclaiming the news. Something had to be done to stop this. So the followers
of Christ were pursued and beaten some to their death to rid the land of the
truth. But it had a reverse affect it didn't stop the truth. The truth
spread and spread and spread.
This same scenario is repeated throughout history as it is
today; evil rulers, false religions, worldly sinners one after the other have tried
extinguishing the truth all for their own gain, pleasure or to quiet their
conscience. No matter how hard they try to ban the truth it survives and
flourishes and the gospel continues to be proclaimed. They just don't
understand that when Jesus defeated death truth was released, you cannot
kill the truth.
So don't worry about what laws are passed or how hard it is
on Christians and Christianity just worry about if you know the truth and if
you do you will survive, if not in this age for eternity.
