The Can Down the Road

If we keep kicking the can down the road we may end up falling on our asses. A little butt-hurt is always a good waker-upper though! Here I am making an account for my “mystical ways”. I wish it didn’t require this! Just think of how much bliss we could all have if we just accepted that Jesus has already accomplished everything for us! We could actually hold hands and sing “Kumbaya”! We could run and romp in the breadths of our heavenly heritage without a care in the world! But as it stands so many Christians are still unsure of how done is done when Jesus says, “It is finished!” It’s a trick of religion to move these heavenly realities beyond arms length to some vague point in the future. God doesn’t use a carrot on a stick to ensure compliance and endurance. That’s the devil’s job! If we’d stop impugning God with that kind of austerity maybe we would pop a little more joy! As it stands God’s presence is not bound by time and it much nearer than most of us are comfortable with. It’s not “back then”. It’s not “to come”. The sooner we embrace the witness of the Holy Ghost for ourselves the sooner we’ll start enjoying the presence of Jesus NOW - and all the wonderful things that entails to boot!
