“Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.”                                                                                                                                                (Isaiah 42)

“And Jesus entered…into the temple…and [H]e…looked round about upon all things…”                                                                                                                                                   (Mark 11)

“You see, but you do not observe.”
Sherlock Holmes

“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”                                                                                                                                  Sherlock Holmes

 

We have spoken upon one of our theories several times. The theory we speak of is the unconscience plagiarism of Hollyweird. We believe the Gospel of our Lord Jesus is the greatest event in all of history for it was planned and willed by God before there ever existed anything that can be considered a human kept historical record. Readers, God is From Everlasting to Everlasting: God is He Who is Eternal and Forever, as are His Holy and Glorious attributes.
As to our theory, we think that all human works are inspired by the Gospel of Christ. I do know and am fully aware of the myths that predate and resemble our Lord’s Gospel. These myths are what Hell’s kindling, oops! err rather the atheist cite in order to pour scorn upon our Lord and heap accolades of wisdom upon themselves (or so they think).

These devils are simply filling their cups of sin and they will continue to do so until their cup overflows and they gag upon the gritty dregs of their defiance, rebellion, hate, wickedness, sin and unbelief. In that last sentence I speak only of the militant and “evangelical” atheists that spend their lives fighting the God they do not believe in and live their lives under the sheer mercy of God, Who could open the earth and swallow all of them any time He deems fit but does not. God’s mercies, kindnesses (not Love) are forever being taken for granted by God-haters and the Christ defiant and all of them are abusers of God’s Mercy and Grace.

C.S. Lewis puts it best when he says Christ and His Gospel are all the pre-Christ myths made true. The myths were to prepare the world for the real thing. Thinks me, this may be happening again….Call me crazy, but I think all the Super Hero movies and the Apocalyptic movies are all the buzz in order to prepare a sleeping world for Christ’s return. In these films they portray the heroes as Christ figures. All of the spiritual undertones are quite blatant in many films these days. I’m not implying that the writers are Gospellers in disguise, but God did make a donkey speak, God caused King Saul to speak prophecy, and in the New Testament certain men would say things contrary to their persons, Caiaphes for example speaking truth and wisdom.

We have gotten of track. However, I do want to draw your attention to the quoted texts above. We do so as an example of authors, writers, producers, etc. pulling their inspiration from The Greatest Event that has ever happened and that great event is Christ Jesus and His Gospel. That is my personal theory. Now onto our purpose.

The Bible, THe Book, Holy Writ, Scripture, THe Word of God, call Him what you will. Most persons see the Scriptures as spiritual, many think Him to be useful only upon the invisable and eternal things of God. I have heard over and over, that there exists no manual for parenting. This cliche is untrue, for the Word of God is the manual for  parenting and He is the Manual for all of Life.

The Bible is certainly the Book for the elect, and spiritual minded but it is a Book of practicality too. From the text out of Mark, we see that our Lord, when He enters a building or when He He speaks, He “looks upon all things.” Our Lord takes in and observes all that is. In the Gospels we find our Lord pressed upon and being made the Focus of unbeliever’s and religionists’s fury and wrath many times. Many times do the puny humans seek to take our Lord, but He always escapes the toil and futility of the God-haters.

How does He escape all of His would-be killers over and over again. We do understand that He escapes these riots because His time was not yet. In this article we have been speaking of the humanity of our Lord. How does He escape all these traps? Our text from Mark tells us plainly,  our Lord looks upon all things, Our Lord is vigilent. Our Master/Teacher shows us how to be safe and He shows us how we can keep our families safe…Look…See… Observe…take in all things that you can….observe persons and know where they are at all times. This is the vigilence that our Master used when He was upon this earth.

Godspeed.
