The Big Solution

So often people look at Christianity and say, "Well, what kind of system is that supposed to be?" And, "How can we accept ideas like that?" And, "How can we make this into a form of government?".

Somehow these questions do not bring us any solutions to our problems - perhaps because these questions are the cause of our problems.

At some place I think everyone is well aware that life is mysterious. To some this is a very frustrating thing - an everlasting source of despair in fact. To others this is a beautiful, wonderful aspect of life.

Life is mysterious - perhaps one of the greatest mysteries. And so is love. When some people see love they rejoice! They say, "Here it is! This is the thing I have been searching for but could not describe!"

When we ask some of the "Why?" questions at God I think we should note a few things that are not His answer to our problems:

- A better government
- Explanations
- Education
- Technology
- A system of any kind

God's solution to our problems was a single, individual: Jesus Christ.

So the next time you face hardship remember that God's solution was not "better planning" or "better ideas" but a living person, Jesus Christ. And if you want to continue showing God's love in the spirit of His solution you need to also become a living person. You need to become like Jesus Christ.
